Bringing a new meaning to light, the Holographique collection from Boucheron catches the complexity of luminosity where every piece reveals all the colours of the world.
Beauty and ephemeral designs are at the heart of Holographique, the new breathtaking collection from Maison Boucheron. After evoking the moving beauty of the sky, the brand’s Creative Director, Claire Choisne, is taking her quest further into the theme of light and its power to change one’s surroundings. Such as to reproduce the moment that a rainbow appears, evoking a sweet euphoria teamed with emotions and memories of innocence.
Claire Choisne was inspired by the work on light and colour by artist Olafur Eliasson and architect Luis Barragan. While her search to define the significance of colour for Boucheron has lasted many years, it is in the magic of this accidental crossing, when sunbeam diffracts into myriad, electric atoms, that she has found the solution. Each piece across this High Jewellery collection places the holographic effect as its central theme.
The collection encompasses nine sets, which include 25 unique pieces that delve into the roots of this photosensitive phenomenon and its Greek etymology, which means ‘to represent everything’. By spraying precious metals at high temperatures onto ceramics or rock crystals, they have succeeded in recreating this natural magic through a process that is able to cement what is traditionally a fleeting moment in time. The workshops at the 26 Vendôme Maison have had to surpass their own limits to explore the full richness of this mirage.
The collection brings ever-changing structures destined to vary depending on the brightness of the place, the viewing angle and the contrast with the skin. A radical and euphoric release, which goes against the discipline that defines French High Jewellery, except, of course, it matches the very spirit advocated by Frédéric Boucheron. The freedom to create above all else.
