“With every new creation, Pascale Risbourg devises a fresh, exacting and temperamental creative process, one that demands she learn everything anew (new materials, new techniques, new inspirations, a new audience, and so on), but above all that she begin again and again, a thousand times if needed, until the moment she can say: this is it.

Thus she moves from fashion to sculpture, with her ceramic lamps and Pompei candleholders, and then to the ornamentation of walls, which she reimagines in the finest tradition of wallpaper in its noblest sense: grand, almost theatrical wall panels conceived as vast drawn tableaux. Her latest pursuit has led her to a meticulous exploration of balance and assemblage in wood: the Canopée light fixture, presented at THEMA in a few days.”
