Objects loaded withhistory
Après tant et tant de voyages, avec un goût immodéré pour le singulier, l’authentique, un oeil acéré et passionné, Pierre-Guillaume Boucot crée Tribes & Kingdoms in 2005.
L’idée : l’univers de l’objet unique, hors des chaînes industrielles, hors des productions de masse.
Tribes & Kingdoms are materials that are sought after all over the world, empreints d’histoireMarked by time, worn, patinated, damaged. Wood, metal, textile. Re-thought, revisited, to create various objects and furniture.
Tribus & Royaumes, ce sont aussi des pièces rares, exceptionnelles, quelques fois extravagantes, toujours singulières, historiques ou vintage, choisies et présentées par amour de l’unique.
Atypique, la griffe Tribus & Royaumes est présente tant chez des particuliers que dans de nombreux hôtels et boutiques aux intérieurs raffinés, et tend à l’avenir à développer des concepts d’agencement complets.
Unique and singular metal frames created with antique Victorian plates
The frames that Kabambi has selected for you are rare pieces, we had never seen similar ones elsewhere. For the anecdote, we discovered them by chance, adorning the partitions of another stand at the Maison & Objet show in September 2014. We then looked for the exhibitor, and discovered these singular frames.
They are made from antique Victorian plates made of metal. Also called "Brooklyn Tiles", these plates are all period, as PG Boucot explains, and were used as false ceilings in English-speaking countries. Tribus & Royaumes has transformed them into frames, leaving them with their original patina.
The Victorian motifs in relief, characteristic of the end of the 19th century, are very diversified, and make of this material steeped in history, objects of decoration with a resolutely contemporary design. Each frame is a unique piece.
