Sabrina was born in Reunion lsland but grew up in France. She studied Applied Artsin Paris and has since lived in Paris, London, Ho Chi Minh City and now Shanghai forthe last 9 years.Throughout her career she's been deeply involved in art, interior design, productdesign and fashion as a Creative Director.  Her work blends traditional techniqueswith unsuspecting materials that can form intriguing combinations that reframe howwe might consider materiality and traditional versus contemporary aesthetics.

A collection of objects that explore the relationship between martial combinations, colour as a process and light as a material.

COLORFUL CONVERSATIONS

This collections is inspired by the sheer density of the bamboo forests in Yuhang and how the dense bamboo trunks chop up the sunshine and light into tiny fragments, letting in small pieces of light creating a very distinct atmosphere.

This column, crafted from elastic threads and bamboo wrapped around a wooden structure, functions both as a soothing ambient light source and an elegant sculptural column. Drawing its inspiration from the intricate designs of Miao rural minorities, the column defuses warm ambient light. 

She was intrigued by weaving the qualities of the modern elastic threads and the natural strands of bamboo. Both are incredibly flexible and can be adapted to various structures and shapes but each represent a very different origin. I wanted to experiment and how they might work together.

OVERGROWN COFFEE TABLE

This piece draws inspiration from the magnificent techniques of 3D bamboo weaving and aims to harmonize mixed materials through a unified color scheme. The light holder, coffee table, and bamboo threads integrate to provide diverse functions, creating an unexpected harmony between hard metal materials  and the natural flexibility of bamboo textures.

Color and light unify this object and the metal table, light holder and bamboo weave use gaps in the weave and the perforation to ensure light and positive and negative space pull all the different pieces together.

DUST TO DAWN

This series of ceramics utilizes a process that involves integrating upcycled bricks, which have been ground down to a powder, and blending them with clay. The bricks used in this process are sourced from waste materials from a local red-brick factory.

The combination of red brick powder and clay in the baking process has resulted in intriguing variations in color and texture, presenting numerous new possibilities.

WINTER BAMBOO

This collection of ceramics takes inspiration from the freshly cut bamboo surrounding the village. Green Bamboo has a subtle yet rich spectrum of colours that go from cool greys to misty greens. The ceramic objects mimic nature and slot into different bamboo offcuts. The notts and breaks in the bamboo are replicated in the forms and structure of the cups and plates. 

Beyond the shapes the more extensive exploration in this collection was the  experiments in colour through the baking and glazing process. Using burned bamboo ash and mixing it into the coloration process surfaced  some intriguing colors after glazing.
