A LIGHT WITH A FACE
The designer spent a lot of time in Central Africa with the Fang who still are the main ethnic group in Guinea and spread across Gabon and Cameroon. She drew her inspiration from the ritual objects and the strong graphic identity before combining it to modern manufacturing to create the Sorcier collection.
More than a light, Sorcier is a sculpture.
