Zigi

The Vira pendants were designed and created for Inné Society in Marseille. Alexis, the founder, wanted lightweight fixtures that would cast a warm light for his chiropractic and gong room. His brief was clear: shapes inspired by the concrete sculptures created by Charles Gianferri and Jacques Bertoux for a building lobby on Avenue Paul Doumer in Paris. He also quickly mentioned a pleated fabric effect.

I then designed 3 pendants of different sizes with turned shapes and textures of slightly wavy striations to break the rigid appearance of 3D printing: the Vira pendants.

Made entirely from recycled mussel shell PLA from Francofil for his premises, I also made them for the Dorati concept store in Marseille in a two-tone scallop shell and colored base version.
