THE ELOWEN CHANDELIER

WITH PIERRE-YVES MOREL

The Elowen Chanderlier was born out of founder Sarah Peake’s desire to have something living, organic - almost wild - to act as the centrepiece of an architecturally traditional room but lift it into the 21st century.

Part of this process led her to meeting Pierre-Yves Morel; a decorative artist who specialises in creating truly realistic imitation wood and marble.

The collaborative process took two years from concept to completion, with initial sketches becoming a metal Marquette and finally the finished product.

THE COLLABORATION STORY

Every part of the chandelier is hand-crafted, and the brass branches are connected to glass shades with a ball and socket joint so that each can be angled to suit. Pierre-Yves Morel creates the handmade wooden beads in Belgium before hand painting them in gilt, sea green, teal blue and silvery tones. Each one is totally unique and whilst looks like stone is in fact light and versatile.

After studying painting at the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts in France, he trained in decorative painting at the Van der Kelen-Logelain Higher Institute of Painting in Brussels. Parallel with his work in private residences he creates objects with a contemporary look by using – or even diverting – traditional technologies.
