Ombre Portée designs and manufactures illuminated sculptures based on research into light sources, including the effects of shadows and reflections.
Eric de Dormael and Sylvie Janvier, founders of Ombre Portée, design and manufacture illuminated sculptures based on research into light sources, including candlelight, a taste for natural, intimate light, and the effects of shadows and reflections. Materials to dress, filter and diffuse the light, as well as to refract it like a jewel, are carefully chosen in order to create a soft and intimate atmosphere. The objective is to evoke images, impressions and sensations and to create pieces that have an inherent poetry.
