Le Jardin, in bloom

Le Jardin is the name Brendo Delmon gave to an imaginary world nourished by details of the real one. A stone, a fallen feather, a pearly reflection or a silk embroidery can suggest its forms. Nature appears there in fragments, freely interpreted: it shows in a motif, extends into a texture or can be sensed in a harmony of colours.

Its profusion is intentional. Stones, fabrics, beads, feathers and enamelled surfaces compose reliefs that the eye discovers little by little. Stone setting, embroidery, painting on materials and weaving come into play according to the needs of each piece. The gestures cross paths, sometimes within a single detail, and reappear differently from one creation to the next.

This freedom guides the work of the House. A piece may be born of a drawing or of the material itself. Intuition opens the search; the choice of forms, assemblies and finishes gives it its precision. Technique follows intention.

From one creation to the next

Le Jardin opens the collection. The House’s first creation, it gives the collection its name: on woven wicker, paint brings out flowers and a butterfly. Le Jardin de Pierres develops its landmarks: the density of ornament, the meeting of colours and relief as part of the design. Its composition affirms a way of conceiving the handbag in which form and surface are built together.

Fiori di Amalfi offers a sunlit expression of it, carried by flowers, fruit and colour. Le Jardin de Plumes explores another presence: around the embroidered macaw, the feathers extend the motif and the volume. Each piece thus develops its own composition while belonging to the same garden.

The singularity of each piece

Each work is made as a single piece. Its singularity lies in its composition as a whole: the materials chosen, their proportions, their nuances and the way they are brought together.

Private commissions make it possible to consider other dimensions, colours or materials, studied with the House according to the project. Intention remains the starting point. A variation calls for a new search for balance, attentive to what gives the creation its character.

Preserving the origin

Documentation accompanies this singularity. A numbered certificate of authenticity, a sheet listing the materials used, an archive photograph from the atelier and a handwritten notebook by the founder tracing the piece’s genesis are brought together with each piece.

These documents preserve its history and its characteristics. The creation can thus leave the atelier while remaining connected to the choices that gave it life.

A living collection

Le Jardin follows its own season. The first works define its outline without bringing its story to a close. The research continues, the materials open other paths and new compositions extend this world.

Le Jardin remains in bloom.
