Rethinking, reimagining, and redesigning familiar objects that we look at every day without ever really seeing them and using light to tell stories is how Marie-Lise Féry sees her work. She offers a new take on our urban heritage and changes our perspective through her work on scale and usage. Since 2015, Magic Circus Éditions has been setting the world of lighting ablaze, creating airy, playful, and magical designs that merge retro with sleek and contemporary.
A free-spirited antiquarian, founder Marie-Lise Féry draws inspiration from the world of cabarets and the magic of the circus to give shape to imaginative, fun, and playful collections. The air of magic she breathes into her work reveals a wealth of interpretations and widens possibilities for creative interiors.
The combination of traditional know-how, outstanding craftsmanship, and her imaginative take on historical, everyday objects lends an unexpected and charming quality to her creations.
Féry’s lights are designed just like magic lanterns, a precursor to modern-day cinema -inspiring wonder through oversized, seemingly weightless compositions and understated references.
Each collection has its own inspiration: the first models of street lighting for Collection 01; the happy memories of funfairs, sweets, and balloons for her latest collection, Balloon; the Far East for Collection 02; and the colorful, carefree spirit of the 1970s for Pop-Up, released in 2019. Magic Circus Éditions draws on airy designs, dream-like inspirations, colors, and fun to create a sense of enchantment.
Magic Circus Éditions founder Marie-Lise Féry was born in Paris. After studying art business, she moved to New York to start her career. Fascinated by the city’s architecture, she found an endless source of inspiration in the Big Apple’s monumental decors. Returning to France to settle down in Lyon, she opened an antique gallery named Un Château en Espagne and started telling her own stories through objects she gleaned on markets all around the country. A way for her to perpetuate her mother’s motto: “Objects with a soul will always belong”.
Since 2015, the year she established Magic Circus Éditions, she has moved on to lighting as a new medium for telling her stories, bringing the magic of the show into home interiors. With her love for the circus, turn-of-the-century cabarets, and music halls, Marie-Lise Féry’s love of unusual objects has remained strong but now prefers to focus her attention on pieces she has imagined herself. With a fun and light-spirited approach, she creates a bold visual effect that elicits instant attraction. She collaborates with some of Europe’s greatest artisans, from Prague and Murano to Clermont-Ferrand, working, for instance, with a Czech company specializing in sculpting glass using a diamond-blade saw or an auto body shop...
