Forestier: putting poetry into pendants | News | Architonic

‘Every piece has been touched for many hours in its making,’ says the designer Jette Scheib, whose family of woven lights for Forestier, Grass and Parrot, occupy this new territory of designed craft. ‘It hasn’t just fallen out of a machine.’ Aesthetically it is out there, with punchy colours dyed into the braided fibres, so much so that at first Scheib questioned its potential success. ‘It’s totally decorative. They are statement pieces and you either love it or hate it,’ she says, crediting Forestier with an open-mindedness not typical of commercial brands. Many, however, seem to love it, given the speed at which Grass and Parrot pieces fly off the shelves.
