Follie VBL

Description

LIGHT, REFLECTIONS & A TOUCH OF MAGIC
Put Folies under the light and let it do its thing. Its crystal-clear finish plays with reflections like a perfectly choreographed kaleidoscope, filling its interior with mesmerizing caustic highlights.
Translation: it shines, it stuns, and it tricks the eye into making spaces look bigger.
Perfect for interiors with character or outdoor spaces where sunlight can work its magic.

SIZE, IN CASE YOU CARE
Height: 50 cm | Width: 42 cm | Depth: 42 cm
(Big enough to be useful, compact enough to stay out of the way.)

NOT MASS-PRODUCED, NOT EVEN BY ACCIDENT
Every Folies is part of a limited edition, signed and numbered. No, you won’t find it just anywhere, and no, there won’t be a factory line churning out copies. What makes it special is that it doesn’t get repeated.

MATERIAL & CRAFTSMANSHIP (OR WHY IT’S WORTH IT)
Handcrafted using solar energy and 100% recyclable PMMA, because good design isn’t just about looking good—it’s about being responsible too.
A heads-up for perfectionists: the hand-bending process may leave subtle marks or slight variations in curvature. These aren’t flaws, they’re the scars of its creation. Like wrinkles on an interesting face, they give each piece character and authenticity.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PRECIOUS WORK OF ARTS
Yes, it shines. Yes, it looks spectacular. And yes, it also attracts fingerprints and dust like it’s part of the design.
📌 To keep it flawless:
• Clean it with soap and water, avoiding alcohol-based products.
• If dust gets too comfortable, an anti-static acrylic cleaner will do the trick.
• Avoid dragging it or placing sharp-edged objects on top (unless you’re into that “art in progress” look).

ETHICS & ECOLOGICAL CRISIS IN THE ANTHROPOCENE: OR HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL OUT OF THE MESS
Yes, there are too many humans and too much plastic. No surprises there. But pretending it doesn’t exist won’t make it disappear. Our rPMMA/PMMA pieces embrace this reality—no sugarcoating, no greenwashing. If plastic has taken over, at least let’s make it look good.

This isn’t about naïve ecology or utopian dreams where everything is biodegradable and perfect. This is dark ecology—accepting that humanity has reshaped the planet in irreversible ways and now we have to deal with it, no filters. Plastic is here to stay, and instead of pretending otherwise, we turn it into something with cultural, artistic, and functional value.

Because when it isn’t recycled, plastic becomes an eternal relic—a fossil of our time, long before we even go extinct. Circular economy isn’t a trend; it’s a way of navigating this new reality, where the artificial and the natural can no longer be separated. We can’t erase what we’ve done, but we can decide what to do with it.
