KORA - NEZU new collections
September, 2025
Garnier & Linker showroom, Paris 10
Garnier & Linker have always considered plaster and bronze to be related materials. Firstly, because in both cases, the manufacturing process requires the creation of models that are then duplicated in plaster or bronze. These models are also always developed in the Garnier & Linker workshop. But also, because historically, the two materials have often been used in parallel in sculpture: bronze for the most noble pieces, and plaster for less important pieces or replicas.
Instead of retaining this hierarchy in materials, Garnier & Linker is more interested in the difference in the presence of these materials: while bronze has a strong presence in space, the more discreet presence of plaster is just as interesting. The two new lighting collections offered by Garnier & Linker therefore have in common, in addition to their minimalist form combined with a subtle texture that reveals the handiwork,an exploration of the unique properties of plaster and bronze.
The KORA collection features a spherical shape in adjustable wall lights, pendant lights, and ceiling lights in a style reminiscent of the 1970s.
The NEZU collection is a variation on a shape developed for the Japanese lacquer collection presented in 2024, here offered in table lamps and wall lights.
