José Lévy
Based in Paris, José Lévy first made his name in fashion. In addition to launching his own collection, ʻJosé Lévy a Parisʼ, he has collaborated with world-famous fashion leaders including Nina Ricci, Cacharel and Emanuel Ungaro. Since 2007, he has dedicated himself to exploring the meeting point between art and interior design. His aesthetic abilities have led to exclusive lines of crystal for Saint Louis, porcelain for Sevres and furniture for Roche-Bobois. Lévy explores the techniques of historyʼs most impressive artisans whilst simultaneously immersing himself in popular culture. The results are remarkable forms, filled with nostalgia and timeless talent, whilst simultaneously modern and brimming with possibilities.
The Piece
ʻMirror Bookʼ – handmade from polimirror sheets of aluminium, the piece can be attached to the wall or placed on a table.
Jose cryptically yet poignantly asks every beholder of his latest work of art:
Can you write on it?
Can you see yourself in it?
Can you open it on a table ?
Can you hang it on the wall ? Can you use it?
