Selected Contemporary Works by Georges Pelletier

 

Biography:

Born in Brussels in 1938, Georges Pelletier first began making working with ceramics at the age of twelve. In his early career, Georges trained at the Académie Charpentier in Paris (School of Arts and Crafts which is now the Picasso Museum), later working at Atelier Claude Pantzer (Les grandes poteries d´Accolay).

In 1961, Georges opened his first workshop in Paris, where his unique style really began to develop. He was discovered by the Bobois house and was enlisted to collaborate on the Bobois lighting collections from 1961 to 1973, where he had his own manufacturing workshop dedicated to the creation of lighting.

In 1973, he decided to leave for the South of France, in Cannes, where he set up a new workshop where he is still active and continues to work. Today, Georges Pelletier is an artist recognized around the world.

A Collaboration with Maison Tournaire:

Maison Tournaire was founded in 1973 by Philippe Tournaire and is now directed by Philippe’s son, Mathieu. Philippe and Mathieu are “always in search of innovation and something never seen, never done,” so a collaboration with Georges made perfect sense. Playing with Georges’ unique understanding of light and shadow, Georges and Mathieu have developed an exclusive collection of lighting integrating metalwork from Maison Tournaire with Georges ceramic creations. The team developed a special Sun Totem lamp for this exhibition, with iconic New York landmarks in metal. Only three of these lamps will be created.
