OBJECT 001 was inspired by a piece of petrified wood from Michele Lamy’s personal collection. With the idea of utility in mind, she was drawn to the communal nature of a candle and its ability to bring people together around a flame.
Celebrating the beauty of ephemerality, the object fosters a deeper emotional connection, inviting reflection on the transient nature of both art and life. Describing the candle as a “welcome home”, Michele envisions it as a creation to be lit, cherished, and appreciated for the time it exists.
Artist, designer, muse, and entrepreneur, Michele Lamy draws inspiration from her vivid imagination and the diverse people she has encountered. She approaches her art as a performance, infusing it with life and striving to convey messages that resonate powerfully with the present moment.
Michele’s creative energy, distinctive personality, and generosity make her truly one-of-a-kind. Her unique vision and artistic sensibility perfectly align with the avant-garde spirit of HOUSE BY®.
The creation of OBJECT 001 is the result of a collaborative artistic process between Michele Lamy, Gérard Mialet, and Philippe Pérès. Through their shared narrative and joint expertise, the concept evolved, yielding a piece that showcases both aesthetic allure and exceptional craftsmanship.
OBJECT 001 stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, capturing the essence of their combined talents and innovative spirit.
