CRAFT GALERIE

COLLECTION SEPTEMBER 2021

CRAFT GALERIE

An unrivalled quest for quality and a commitment to traditional savoir-faire is at the very heart of Métaphores’ approach. As such, the theme of the latest collection—Craft Galerie—is felicitous. It is inspired by the world of artisans, ingenious makers who adopt age-old techniques to create objects of inimitable beauty that are both anchored in the past and firmly of the present. Working by hand, they employ great skill to craft, carve, sculpt, mould, fashion and adorn.

The eight references in the new collection have been conceived to imitate different natural materials: clay, wood, leather, metal… transformed by artisanal processes, whether it be chasing, enamelling or engraving.

The fabrics are inherently textural with complex weaves that shimmer and vibrate. Some are more organic and expressive, others delightfully delicate and subtly subdued.
