Multi Black string blue leaf

In Multi Black, String Blue Leaf, Thibault Philip sets a deep black membrane against blue string and leaf detailing, a contrast of depth and colour. As with all his lamps, the material is animal intestine reclaimed from the food industry, twisted and layered by hand and held together by its own natural proteins, with no glue or resin. Coloured with ancient textile pigments, the dark surface lets light through only where the membrane is thinnest, and the blue accents stand out against the shadow. It is a striking example of Philip’s practice, in which ancestral craft and contemporary production meet, and it is unique.
