THE BLADE LIGHT
DESIGNED AND HAND MADE BY XAVIER CLARISSE
PRODUCT DESIGN : LIGHTING
Designed by nature, the Blade Pendant celebrates the form of leaves and petals in the abundant tropical foliage found in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Xavier Clarisse has translated these classic natural shapes into elegant sculptural pieces.
The leather is embossed to achieve a sculpted form using a traditional press and folded to create its leaf-like shape.
FULL GRAIN LEATHER
Clarisse Design uses only full-grain, vegetable tanned leathers in the production of their handcrafted designs. This specific type of leather has been chosen for its physical attributes of thickness, durability and the ability to be shaped. A full-grain piece of leather has the entire grain visible on one side. Except for the removal of the hair, the surface remains untouched. Natural imperfections like scars, blemishes, insect bites, branding and stretch marks may be present in this leather. These natural imperfections should not be regarded as defects and are a feature of this first-quality leather.
