    Steel, Light Rattan (Manila)

    Weight: 5kg

    Rattan, a material with extraordinary properties with limits.

    Rattan is a vine of the Palm race, which grows in very humid or even swampy equatorial forests.

    With its siliceous skin like glass, this extremely solid and light vine is particularly resistant to humidity, as are tropical woods, teak or others.

    But this resistance has its limits. Exposed to rain, rattan resists very well for a whole day or even a few days. But if this rain continues for too many hours, the humidity will gradually penetrate the Rattan, and day after day the material kept damp will end up slowly degrading and losing its resistance qualities.

    The physical limits of rattan imply precautions for use. On the terraces of Parisian cafes, the chairs can last for decades while they are often in the rain all day for long periods. But they are piled up every night under cover and can thus dry out.

    More generally, rattan can withstand rain for long hours without compromising its longevity, but must be able to dry regularly.

    In practice, rattan furniture can stay outside throughout the "summer season", the weather is hot and rather dry, continuous rains exceptionally last more than three or four days and Rattan withstands such rains without degrading.

    But as soon as the season advances, the temperature drops, there is a lot of condensation and humidity, the Rattan will gradually become humid, the long and heavy rains accentuating this degradation. In practice, these are sensitive situations by the sea.

    It is then imperative to put the seats under shelter, a ventilated shelter to avoid progressive humidification as soon as the "bad season" arrives, in practice from mid-October to mid-March for a continental climate.

    The alternative if you want to use your Rattan furniture all year round, is to put it away daily, every evening, as Parisian terraces do.

    In summary, 2 main principles to respect:

    During the winter season (October 15 to March 15 in Europe) in all climates: the furniture must be stored “dry”. It can however be left outside during the day, but must imperatively be put in the dry during the night.

    During the "beautiful season", the rest of the time, the Rattan can remain permanently outside.

    However, if a lasting rain arrives, the Rattan should only be left in this rain for two or three days at the most, before putting the furniture in the dry place so that it can dry. He only takes it out once the rain has stopped (In any case, a terrace cannot be used in the rain).

  • Reproduction of Head Bust, Tribute to Modigliani

    €420.00

    Bust of a woman made in terracotta.

    It is a reproduction of the head created by the painter and sculptor Modigliani in 1912 and which is present today at the Mineapolis Institute of Art.

    Protaganist of the vibrant Parisian artistic community around 1910, the Italian Amedeo Modigliani sought to establish a new sculptural language, largely inspired by African, Greek and ancient Egyptian examples.

    The current Head was one of seven exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in October 1912.

    A few months earlier, it had been photographed in the artist's studio, making it one of his best-documented works.

    Modigliani wanted the heads to be part of “columns of tenderness” within a primordial “temple of beauty” which was not realized.

    According to the account of his close friend Jacob Epstein, Modigliani used to place candles on these heads at night. Driven by marijuana, he affectionately embraced the totemic and luminous sculptures

    We can specify that this shape of head is strongly inspired by African masks made by tribes in Gabon, Angola or the Republic of Cogon which have the particularity of the elongation of the head such as for example the Ngil de Fang masks which are generally characterized by a face made up of high orbital cavities on each side of a long straight nose separating two fine eye incisions.

    Material: terracotta.
