About the Item
Chapito Paper Suspension Light by Papier à êtres
One of a Kind
Dimensions: D 36 x W 36 x H 26 cm.
Materials: Recycled paper pulp.
Available in 25, 36, 47, and 58 cm diameters. Please contact us.
We imagine and design each work in our atelier in France, Gironde.
Each one is one of a kind and handmade; we don’t use moulds.
Sophie Mouton-Perrat and Frédéric Guibrunet have been working with paper for almost twenty years, each in their own way. Since 2008, they have combined their know-how in joint creations, luminous, diaphanous, and bright sculptures.
Sophie studied applied arts. First at the Estienne school, then at ENSAAMA, for training in synthetic materials. At the same time, she was already working with paper, folding, or papier-mâché. A material discovered at the same time as modeling, an interest confirmed by an internship with the Farfelus Farfadets. She invents characters, poetic and playful animals, inspired by fairy tales, films, children’s illustration, and everyday life. Her creations are colorful. She launched Papier à êtres® in 2002.
Frédéric has a background in chemistry. A profession he practiced for six years before becoming passionate about papermaking. He then traveled in search of the best recipes, the best methods, in Europe, Asia, and America. In 2003, he settled in Quebec.
He then created around this material, around watermark, and launched into collections of lighting fixtures to highlight his papers. He only works with white.
Frédéric and Sophie met in 2007, on the occasion of an exhibition dedicated to paper.
A few months later, they created their first "Mademoiselle": the pleated base, diffusing the light, is produced by Fred, Sophie models a bust there.
Other models will follow, always unique, on white linen paper.
They are now only looking to develop their collections; they imagine their creations together, starting from a draft, a sketch on which the other bounces.
Frédéric brings a more pragmatic vision to the project, while Sophie brings a more illustrative, more poetic aspect.
The luminous sculptures of Papier à êtres® are presented in many galleries and boutiques around the world. (Japan, Australia, the Middle East, Europe...)
After a first appearance in the window of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2008, they reappeared with the "Cabanons" collection presented in the windows in June 2012.
Since 2009, collections dedicated to the ballets and operas of the season regularly inhabit the Galerie de l'Opéra Garnier.
Bonpoint and Patek Philippe, Adler jewelers, and the Lello bookstore have called on Papier à êtres® for their Christmas windows. The creations follow one another for TAAJ (cruises), Van Cleef
Arpel, Jorya, and Tabbah.
All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the USA it will be wired for the USA for instance.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
Made to order creations can be done: please contact us for any request.
