The studio of designer and cabinetmaker Michel Hillard has been booked for vegetarians, greens and animal advocates of all stripes and varieties. And not because Michelle is a selectively unfriendly person. It's just that all these people will not really like what this master is doing. And Michelle Hillard specializes in the manufacture of stunningly beautiful, incredibly shocking and truly exclusive furniture. Very, very expensive furniture, which only a few can afford and will want.
Highlard's masterpieces can be called satanic, transcendent, frightening, since they are all made of unusual, rare materials. There are tusks and fangs, skins and tails, horns and hooves of a wide variety of animals, from ostriches and turtles to tigers, crocodiles and other predators.
It is hard to believe, but the cabinets, shelves and bedside tables are lined with animal skins even inside. The designer seems to bring us back to the past, when the exquisite dwellings of aristocrats and other nobility were decorated with the heads of game killed in a hunt, and instead of carpets in the offices with expensive heavy furniture there were spread skins of wild animals.
And it is impossible to understand what, after all, such furniture is - functional, practical objects, which, however, not everyone wants to enter their home … Or art objects intended solely for admiring and admiring them, with with awe and awe, pronouncing the name of the author of this inimitable beauty …
