Papillion

Papillion refers to the French word for butterflies “Papillion”, which poetically alludes the floating lampshades as the chandeliers focal point. Inspired by Mathieu Matégots way of working with sheets in soft and organic ways the Papillion is based on a simplified Art Deco chandelier structure, with 6 illuminating lampshades elegantly positioned in a lightweight metal construction forming the outer shape of a hexagon. The characteristic lens shape adds an organic quality to the surface, while optimizing light diffusion.
