Bluets is a collaboration between Cecilia Reboursin and Sofia Quirno for LAREBOUR
The one of a kind lamps and sculptures celebrate the overlap of their practices, and their common interests in the layered landscapes of domesticity, color and poetry.
The series, Bluets, references the everyday in the color of a flower and the emotional range within blues. It pays homage to artists like Joan Mitchell and Maggie Nelson who, among many others, inspired shapes and forms of the collection.
ABOUT BLUETS
Bluets started with pandemic chats in a building's stoop. Sofia had began investigating sculpture from her drawing, Cecilia, investigating sculpture from interior design. The collection is the result of the overlap of these two worlds and the translations of ideas into functional objects. Layering textures, color as an emotional landscape and grids as an organizing entity but also a container of possibilities.
Bluets is lighting and sculpture, made of clay, inspired by nature, in a blue that flows and returns from its neighboring colors. Playing the moon in the day and the sun at night the pieces celebrate the blue hour ( L'Heure Bleue), the moment right before sunset or dawn. The magic hour.
