The Soul collection is a series of plaster lamps intended as wall lamps and designed to be scrutinised as if entering a dark alley at dusk and suddenly being pierced with a surreal ray of light. Storytelling elements of a memorial biography, these landscapes of curiosity gave designer Charles Kalpakian, star talent of the Parisian gallery BSL and experienced in the work of metal, stone, bronze, lacquer and velvet, the opportunity to master plaster in his workshop. He moulded figures similar to Etruscan masks from this vernacular and humble material. In the pure white of the matrix material, he sometimes slipped a flat gold leaf to sublimate each lamp's backlight.
A self-confessed biographical exercise, SOUL (Souvenir of United Lebanon) invites contemplation of each model through the gaze of a small metal character, either seated or standing, that DCW invites you to handle as a self-portrait of Kalpakian...

White plaster wall lamp with optional gold leaf decoration, equipped with an integrated LED source. Each lamp comes with two small metal characters, seated or standing.
