"retains the intense hues and rich texture of her last collection, CONCAV, yet with a twist: finishing techniques that unveil iridescent shifts as one moves around the pieces, where light plays an essential role in how tone is perceived. Brushed and corrugated aluminum finds its spotlight among the finery, reflecting ambient sun and allowing a multitude of hues to exist within a single plane, evoking a sense of possibility."
"Wilmotte is no stranger to acid green, its brushed aluminum finish shifting fluidly with the light. Depending on the angle, it moves from sharp chartreuse to a softer sage, each reflection familiar yet never quite the same. The blue pieces evoke a similarly mercurial spectrum, ranging from the deep calm of ultramarine to the shimmer of powdery sky, layered powder coatings enhancing their depth with frosted and glossy textures."
An exhibition at 38 rue Madame presents 18 new sculptural lighting, mirrors, and tables that emphasize intense hues and rich texture through iridescent finishing techniques. Brushed and corrugated aluminum reflects ambient light to produce multiple hues within a single plane. The collection is organized into green, blue, and silver/red families, each exploring shifting tones—from sharp chartreuse to soft sage, and ultramarine to powdery sky—enhanced by layered powder coatings with frosted and glossy textures. Material experimentation pairs blown Murano glass and richly veined colored marble with powder-coated metal, creating tensions between handmade irregularities and industrial geometry.
