01 / The unexpected material

THE
ART OF
FEATHERS.

In Marion Delarue's hands, feathers are no longer simply light or decorative. They become elements of construction, capable of creating volume, movement and striking sculptural silhouettes.

Cheng Peng combines carefully assembled dyed feathers with moulded leather, revealing the tension between softness and structure.

02 / Texture and transformation

SOFTNESS.
STRUCTURE.

The lightness of a feather. The presence of a sculpture.

Yu Shu explores the possibilities of dyed turkey down applied to a moulded leather structure.

The work invites a closer look at the surprising ways familiar natural materials can be shaped into contemporary objects.

THE BEAUTY
OF DETAIL.

Marion Delarue Kai Mage, 2026, interlocking mother-of-pearl with urushi lacquer interior
Marion Delarue — Kai Mage 2026. Interlocking mother-of-pearl, interior coated with urushi lacquer. Collection Marion Delarue.

Kai Mage reveals a different dimension of Marion Delarue's practice: the precise assembly of mother-of-pearl and the depth of traditional urushi lacquer.

Light, reflection and meticulous construction become essential parts of the object's identity.

04 / An enduring creation

NATURE
REIMAGINED.

In Parrot Devotee 5, feathers from different birds meet pressed rice-paper pulp and metal.

The brooch embodies the artist's imaginative approach to jewellery, combining organic textures, technical invention and a distinctive sculptural language.
