When original art melds with function, finds inspiration in nature, evokes jewelry and exquisite handcraftsmanship, and tells a story, we almost always fall in love! This is precisely what happened when we discovered Automne<\/em>. The new limited-edition sculptural lighting collection created by Quebec-based high-end decor brand Larose Guyon. With three stunning poetic models, each with a limited production run of 16, the Automne<\/em> collection of functional art radiates timeless luxury. Read on to meet the talented minds behind Larose Guyon and discover their newest exclusive collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larose Guyon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2015 by Audr\u00e9e L. Larose and F\u00e9lix Guyon, Larose Guyon designs and manufactures original and exceptional lighting fixtures and home furnishing objects. Local artisans in Quebec handcraft each design with discernible refinement and distinction. Precious materials, impeccable craftsmanship, natural inspiration, the blending of art and function, and heritage and modernity distinguish a Larose Guyon design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automne<\/em>: Art for More Than Art Sake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a lighting design firm, with a small-town soul, and this collection captures the true essence of the Larose Guyon story,\u201d says Audr\u00e9e Larose. \u201cAutomne<\/em> is inspired by nature and has been meticulously handcrafted into an exclusive collection for those seeking a fashionable, functional work of art, rather than a simple lighting fixture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years in the making, Automne\u2019s<\/em> original designs slowly grew in the minds of their creators. \u201cWe’ve always been inspired by the complexity of nature, its textures, its contrasts, its movement, and just simply its beauty. For this collection, we wanted to create a moment. A scene stopped in time. As if we were walking in nature with the sun reflecting and shining on the warm colors of autumn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poetic Storytelling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infused with rich, enchanting narratives, the story behind each functional work of art in Automne <\/em>is essential to Larose Guyon. \u201cNot only did we want to create art pieces that perfectly merged nature and jewelry. But we also wanted to pay tribute to this surrounding nature by creating a poetic storytelling around this collection,\u201d explains Audr\u00e9e. \u201cWe live in a world full of over-consumption and that sometimes lacks magic and poetry. Telling a story along with our design is not only to bring emotions and magic. But also for us to live this magic. It’s simply our humble mission to try to bring beauty and fantasy to people’s life. We know that a small amount of our clients can afford this collection but we wanted all those other people to have a part of this magic with the videos, the imagery, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Video<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

While the concepts behind the artistic designs seem otherworldly, Larose Guyon captures their essence through an analogous portrayal of Automne\u2019s<\/em> fantastical world. A short avant-garde promotional video (see below) tells the story of foragers venturing into a magical forest of light and precious materials. As hidden treasures emerge, natural beauty, noble materials, and craftsmanship collide with the harvesting of Automne\u2019s<\/em> delicate elements. The story artfully conveys the path of Larose Guyon designers whose own journeys into their wooded surroundings in search of inspirational pockets of light and natural beauty have given rise to the limited-edition Automne <\/em>collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
