RAZOR SHARP

Blaise Dovifat has always had a passion for art and design. Now, armed with the experience of his professional career in graphics, he has moved towards the creation of furniture and accessories somewhere between drawing and sculpture.It is in his workshop in the Paris region that he constructs his creations that are often imposing and somewhat theatrical. He cuts out, profiles, perforates or makes fretwork like lace out of steel, stainless steel or even aluminium, giving the raw material all its nobility and thus creating rare and significant pieces.Today he presents a range of mirrors, consoles, tables or lights with varying characteristics : baroque, tribal, contemporary or intriguingly unusual.His creations are authenticated "one-off" pieces or limited numbered editions.
Below are some of his amazing creations we proudly carry at Burlesque.

  1. I like the mirror in the 3rd picture. I think they need to be used VERY carefully as accent pieces with the bare minimum around them. I would like to see his lighting. Off to google him.

  2. I totally agree with you. They are such statement peices, that they cant have much happening around them. The steel is cut with such precision its amazing.
