After studying art history, Inès Mélia turned to music, one of her passions, and became a DJ. But with the lockdown, the requests stopped abruptly and she naturally returned to her brushes by taking as her subject the objects around her. Discover her selection on MOM!

Fungus vase, large-wide size, pink and grey
The Fungus Collection is a collection of glass vases whose shapes, colors and surfaces are inspired by organisms from the world of fungi and molds. This has given rise to strange functional objects that, as individual objects or functional vases, will easily become a fresh and distinctive dominant of the interior. The objects are processed in several sizes, shapes and colors and in two finishes.
Spring - Chair
Spring is Front’s playful and offbeat take on a classic, prim and proper chair. In theory, its functional design broad arms, wide seat, comfortable back, padded and upholstered body should make it a perfect fit for virtually any environment. Be it at home around the dinner table, in a meeting room or even in a hospital waiting area. If it were not for the way it plays with conventions, that is, incorporating for instance a bold red spring encouraging users to try its bounce.
SCALA TABLES & CONSOLES
This line of leather covered furniture and objects were inspired by the “stacked” form often seen at the base of some buildings in Italy, as well as the famous heel of Salvatore Ferragamo. This selection of stools, nightstands and sideboards have an identical recurring pattern, superimposed and highlighted by deliberately thick legs, giving a delicate graphic line. Now, with a change in perspective, the same shapes and proportions become centerpieces, boxes, lanterns and vases. Wallpaper* Design Award 2018 Winner
Inès Melia sublimates everyday life
After studying art history, Inès Mélia turned to music, one of her passions, and became a DJ. For 8 years, she would liven up fashion shows, exhibitions or boutiques. But with the lockdown, the requests stopped abruptly and she naturally returned to her brushes by taking as her subject the objects around her. In the process, she also created a series of “instant sculptures” like her candlesticks made from aged cheese or a series of tissue boxes made from recovered books that were customized. “It was my way of escaping reality and putting a poetic gaze on domestic life”. These creations made a great impression at the exhibition organized this year at the 75 Faubourg gallery. By December, she should unveil new pieces such as a collection of bookmarks made of baked and varnished modeling clay, a way of expressing her passion for literature!
