Hanging garlands

Washi paper light garlands

Courant d'air and Points de suspension make up Céline Wright's suspended garland collection, 2 compositions that repeat the cocoon shape in miniature along a length of wire. Both compositions can be sized by wire length and number of cocoons, to fit the width of a wall or a table. Each washi paper cocoon is hand-shaped in Montreuil before being strung along a suspended line, designed to run above a table, along a wall or cascading down a staircase. Japanese paper, lighter and more translucent than fabric, lets a pinpoint of light filter through each cocoon, like a string of small lanterns. This Japanese paper light garland suits an interior as well as a covered terrace, for decorative rather than functional lighting.

Responsible making

Made locally

For Céline Wright, craftsmanship is also an ecological choice. Her lights are made in Montreuil or by a network of people working from home, a model inspired by the "cottage industry" that limits transport. Washi, made from kozo fibres, and natural glues complete the approach. In 30 years, this way of making has not changed, even as new collections have been added every year.

Craftsmanship

Paper shapes that slide along a cable

A garland is made of small shapes, each crafted separately in washi paper before being mounted on the cable. On Points de suspension, they slide along a cable weighted by a white marble pebble, so the spacing can be adjusted once the garland is installed. On Courant d'air, one cable is held taut by the weight of a pebble while the other winds around the cocoons.

"Handwork is the only non-polluting human energy"
Céline Wright
Made to measure

A garland composed for your space

One-of-a-kind piece

Number of cocoons, sizes, cable length, power point: each parameter is set according to your space to compose a unique garland.

Smaller sizes

A few cocoons on a short cable are enough to light a reading corner or an alcove, with the same delicate paper.
