Papier à êtres Parisian magic.

I don’t know about you, but I am - from now on - in desperate need of these fragile, delicate and so magical lamps…or shall we rather calm them sculptures?

Sophie Mouton-Perrat and Frédéric Guibrunet have been creating stunning paper and linen sculptures that function as exquisite lighting solutions for the last decade.

The couple lives and works in Paris.

He structures the paper, she poetizes it:

Mouton-Perrat sculpts delicate dancing figures in white dresses out of papier mâché, which Guibrunet transforms into the foundation of a wonderfully lighted lamp.

Besides these gorgeous beaming ballerinas and singers, there are some other pieces I discovered on the designers' website. They might not be as full of light but it doesn’t stop them from being extremely heart warming.
