ART'S AND DÉCO - RÉMI MAILLARD
A lacquer artist, a specialist in China's lacquer, Japan, two countries for which we know the importance of this precious element and where he sought techniques, as well as in the rest of Asia… Needless to say that Rémi Maillard does everything, absolutely everything, by hand, designing his furniture and pigments, working on the d sheet gold or silver, lustrant after sanding, polishing, engraving, cistering and other techniques arranged. Sometimes it takes up to 100 layers of lacquer, each time polished and polished to get the desired result. It is true that his meeting with Bernard Dunand, the son of the greatest lacker of Art Decco, revealed his vocation. This former fashion designer received the E.P.V. label in 2016, and is now part of the elite of popular French companies worldwide. This does not prevent him from proclaiming: " Lacquer is a school of humility, patience, equilibrium ". A beautiful trilogy that can be inspired!
