Francis Large coffee table by Constance Guisset Ø 75

The edge of a Francis is not a frame: it is a watercolor. Constance Guisset hand-painted two series of hues, digitally reworked to amplify the interplay of pigment transparency, then printed onto mirrors and captured within a glass lamination. The result evokes the oxidation of antique mirrors as much as a makeup palette: a deep gradient that dissolves toward the reflective center. Placed horizontally, the mirror reverses the logic of reflection: it no longer reflects the face but the ceiling, and the watercolor becomes a tray. A spun steel base gives the piece the stability that the lightness of the design does not suggest.
