‘DISTORTION CHANDELIER’
by Thierry Jeannot
Photo: Mariana Achach
Embodying a transformative evolution, 'Distortion' emerges as a testament to Thierry Jeannot's visionary craftsmanship, fusing reclaimed plastic elements, acrylics and metals into a striking pendant lamp. It distorts the common conception of traditional chandeliers. This piece challenges perceptions, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of artistry, sustainability, and reimagined design.
The ‘Distortion’ chandelier was launched and presented at ZONA MACO Art Fair México City in February 2024.
THE ALCHEMIST AND PLASTIC MASTER CRAFTSMAN PRESENTS UP-CYCLING AT ITS BEST AND DEMONSTRATES HOW WASTE CAN TRANSFORM INTO PURE LUXURY -
WASTE IS LUXURY
Thierry Jeannot (b. 1963) is a French-born designer living in Mexico for the last 20 years. Working across product design, furniture and social design, his focus generates high added value to recycled materials through design. He is interested in traditional techniques and materials and has worked closely with crafts-people both in Paris (back in the 80ies with fashion guru Thierry Mugler) and later with the workshops he discovered in Mexico City. He follows a design philosophy where design and the production process are never separated. In the 1980s he began working with a range of unconventional or ‘outlandish’ materials, like for example acrylics and plastics. For the last 20 years he has been working mainly with the PET bottle as his raw-material. He explores various techniques of using the bottle and to transform its materiality and status to favourable acclaim both in Mexico and The United States. He is also developing home based employment for disadvantaged communities in Mexico City such as women, unemployed, disabled, HIV sufferers et al. More on the social aspects of Thierry’s work see below.
