CALDEIRA
The original mirror, the first one, was the still water of a lake. The caldera or crater lake is a vast area that forms at the heart of some volcanoes after an eruption, many of which slowly fills with water. They inspired this collection of mirrors with turbulent whirling edges.

Produced at extremely high temperature, melting glass takes shape just as a mass of lava running down a volcano and covering its reliefs. Over time, nature sets this chaos and a plane of freshwater replaces the overwhelming energy of lava. The Caldeira – in French – sends us back a beautiful reflection.

EX-VOTO
Fruit bowl in blown glass

Sacred and magical votive offering, the fruits laid on this bowl seem to levitate. This object pays a tribute to the forms of nature’s unequalled perfection, it’s top view, an ovoidal form, a hint to fertility.

Xavier Lust

Born in 1969, he studied interior design at Institut Saint-Luc before opening his own Studio in Brussels. In 2000 Xavier Lust started to design for MDF Italia, an ongoing relationship which was the start of his collaboration with leading international producers such as Driade, De Padova, Cerruti Baleri, Fiam, Extremis…

His work is clearly identifiable through the visible tension he gives to his objects, and the curves inspired by his innovative (de)formation process of metallic surfaces. He has received of dozens of awards including Compasso d’Oro. His work has appeared in over 50 exhibitions and is a regular feature in international design publications. He is a regularly invited guest lecturer at leading art and design institutions around the world. ” A wonderful aspect of Xavier’s work is the illusion of lightness and motion,” writes the Russian critic Olga Bozhko. “In his designs he manages to express what seems impossible. It’s seems as though his works are not created; they are born.”

The Xavier Lust design studio works in four areas of design:

– Industrially produced furniture and accessories
– Limited editions and pieces for art galleries
– Interior architecture
– Industrial design and street furniture
