Matières d’exception, Breathtaking materials and their creators (book) by Caroline Perrin. 2011. Editions Vial. Factory sealed. Beautiful bound book of 335 pages. Bilingual French/English.
“At the beginning there is an emotion, sometimes only physical: a sensual and pleasant touch; sometimes also intellectual: our curiosity is piqued, we are amazed by the quality of the work, touched by the history of the object, incredulous faced with the difficulty overcome by the craftsman, fascinated by the talent of the creator… Rather than opposing natural beauty and artistic beauty, the work of the material brings the two together for the greatest pleasure of the senses and the spirit “.
Born in 1970 in the United States, Caroline Perrin graduated from EDHEC. After a career in investment banking, in Paris then in London, she returned to France to pursue her true passion: architecture and materials. Creator of the company AC Matière, specializing in high-end wall decoration, she is also consulted for artistic direction missions. With this work, she creates an argued and illustrated compilation of her inspirations, her discoveries and her favorites, gleaned from her meetings with artisans and creators of the most beautiful materials.
