KRAFTIES

Material play that translates chance into form. A glassmaker’s precision, extreme and mastered machining. One might speak of troubled geometry – but only at first glance. What emerges is a living sensitivity, subtly imperfect, rich with matter.

A quest resonating with the work of Japanese artist Minami Ikeya: frosted, handcrafted glass shaped by time. Pebble erosion. Light’s caress. A summer tenderness cultivated year-round. Here, material plays, searches, experiments. It welcomes the happy accident.

Collage, softening, irregular edges. Gestures that open the frame to light and brilliance. Naturalness is key, as if the acetate had been carved and polished by hand. A hollowed hinge detail adds restrained gloss. Each frame keeps and tells its own singular story, born from the miracle of a mastered accident.

Colors draw from glass pigments: crystalline fronts, opaline hinges, opaque temples ending in crystal commas. Expression remains soft. Arty. Alive. Sensitive. Always in motion.

Objects you want to look at for a long time. And instinctively want to touch.
