Jean-Luc Le Mounier, Hamada Chest, FR
About the Item
Jean-Luc Le Mounier’s glittering, platinum-front Hamada Chest employs a revolutionary technique of metal working before now only used in fine jewelry making. With Hamada Le Mounier has pushed his stellar vision and accomplishment to a new benchmark.
A key element to Le Mounier’s success is his acute attention to textural elements, often derived from nature. Hamada takes its name from a type of desert landscape consisting of largely barren, hard rocky plateaus, where most of the sand has been removed by wind removing the fine products of weathering, leaving behind a landscape of fragmented gravel and bare rock. To recreate the scorched earth effect, Le Mounier constructs a complex composition of individually sculpted metal plates, tessellated on a ground of brushed, black stainless steel.
The enamel plates are created with a surface of copper foil on which several layers of black crystal are melted, producing a finely detailed, raw appearance. The plates are then finished with a layer of platinum. The contrasting qualities of the satiny stainless steel and the polished platinum create a sparkling effect as light moves across the surface.

- Jean-Luc Le Mounier, Papillon, Black Wings, Two-Door Cabinet, France, 2021By Jean-Luc Le MounierLocated in New York, NYBy employing ever-more complex techniques, wedding rare species of wood and precious metals in novel arrangements, and endowing each piece with incredible components, Jean-Luc Le Mounier creates work, astonishing and seductive in equal measure, that pushes the frontier of his craft into the realm of art. This exciting exploration is perhaps best-evidenced by Papillon pieces, Le Mounier’s series of inimitable cabinets, all rendered by his expert hand, and featuring doors carved into the shape of a butterfly’s wings. This particular iteration features wings covered in black straw marquetry, a delicate inner gate wrought of antiqued bronze, and a sumptuous interior of lemon ceylon wood.Category
