Nuclée
Original Art Pieces
Nuclée is currently produced in France in a limited series of 12 art pieces, numbered and signed, handcrafted from natural materials. It is sold in its custom packaging, a jute sheathed power cable, a certificate of authenticity and a designers’ note.
Nuclée was born in Taiwan from an encounter with the Kavalan aboriginal people, experts in the use of banana fiber. These art pieces revalorise a considerable residue unexploited by the Kavalan : the flesh of the banana tree. This "new" material is sublimated by walnut rings, inspired by the internal structure of the banana tree.
Nuclée is laureate of Le French Design 100 Award (Paris, 2022), Ein&Zwanzig Finest Design (Frankfurt, 2022), the Green Product Award (Berlin, 2021) and of the "Best of Year" Grand Prize (New York, 2020).
