The story begins with a gesture.
As a tiny pendant, it stays close to us. As a sculpture, it can give an entire space its character.
The curve of a head, a hanging ear, a leg turning into movement. These were the gestures I first drew out of the poodle. I wanted to see how much detail I could leave behind while keeping its character. The eyes disappeared; poise, curiosity and playfulness found their place in the shapes.
In this version, gold provides the structure: it holds the midnight blue and cognac surfaces together and guides the eye through the figure. Fine radiating lines follow the curves of its head, ear and body. The transparent acrylic display leaves the wall visible around it; light and the shadow behind the figure become part of the composition.
I also wanted to explore how this character could live at different scales. In the visual concepts, it becomes a sculpture, a small pendant, a lamp and a porcelain motif. Its lines feel light on silk and give structure to a bookend. The sand, sage and burgundy versions explore other moods; the gold, midnight blue and cognac signature model brings the current collection together.
