Mobile in Bronze-Patina Brass and Shell by Kifu Paris

About the Item

The Luna Sculptural Mobile by Kifu Paris is the ultimate luxury piece for your child's bedroom or to be used on its own as a stunning piece of art. Inspired by the birth of her first child, Kifu Augousti designed this piece to embrace the whimsical world of a child. The piece is inlaid in bronze-patina brass details with red pen shell inserts. This piece is intended to be mounted vertically on a wall, but can also be prepared to be mounted from the ceiling or free standing on request. Available with white or rose quartz inserts, mother of pearl or blue shell inserts and other variations available, see images at end of slide. Custom sizing/finishing available on request. All shagreen pieces are hand-dyed by artisans. The dimensions of this piece are: Total height of piece 168.8 cm Mobile sculpture part: 37.1 x 45.1 x 38 cm All Kifu Paris pieces are handmade by artisans, ultimately making each piece unique. Custom color or sizing available on request. Wipe clean with soft dry cloth. Although inspired by her parents, her collection of home accessories and furniture is a distinct identity of its own. Kifu uses handmade techniques of elaborate inlay patterns of shagreen, shells, semi-precious stones, materials she experienced as a child growing up in her parent’s studio, but interpreted in a younger quirkier way reflecting her youth. From her "jewelry inspired knobs" on decorative boxes, gold bar boxes and an extravagant inlay pattern mix of shagreen and shell inspired by galactic constellations, as seen on her enormous round mirror is refreshing to see. Kifu embodies whimsical elements throughout her collection and is not afraid to be daring and unexpected in her approach to design. All shagreen-covered items should be kept out of direct sunlight, color variants may occur on the stingray and other exotic finishes, but this showcases the Parisian label's commitment to creating authentic luxurious products using natural components. For all pieces inlaid with stone and semi-precious stones, due to the natural quality of the material color tonality and pattern placement may differ slightly per piece.

About the Seller
4.8
Located in New York, NY

Founded in 1989 by husband and wife Ria and Yiouri Augousti, this maker combines Art Deco and contemporary design in furniture and home-accessory collections as well as sculptural objects. From their flagship store on Paris’s rue du Bac, the Augoustis work closely with customers, including globally famous interior designers, architects and celebrities, to create custom pieces for their homes and projects. Although the use of shagreen is their signature, they have also pioneered patterns that mix this and other exotic materials with shells, parchment, eel skin, semiprecious stones, snakeskin and metal. Following in their footsteps, the Augoustis’ daughter recently opened a showroom in New York called KIFU PARIS, which carries the R&Y Augousti collection; her fiancé’s sculptural candle collection, Patrick Coard Paris; and her own furniture and home accessories.
