Objects loaded withhistory
After countless journeys, driven by an insatiable passion for the unique and the authentic, and with a keen and passionate eye, Pierre-Guillaume Boucot has created Tribes & Kingdoms in 2005.
The idea: a world of unique objects, free from industrial production lines and mass production.
Tribes & Kingdoms are materials that are sought after all over the world, steeped in historyMarked by time, worn, patinated, damaged. Wood, metal, textile. Re-thought, revisited, to create various objects and furniture.
Tribes & Kingdoms also features rare, exceptional and sometimes extravagant pieces – always unique, historic or vintage – selected and presented out of a love for the one-of-a-kind.
The Tribus & Royaumes brand, which is something of an outsider, can be found both in private homes and in numerous hotels and boutiques with sophisticated interiors, and plans to develop comprehensive interior design concepts in the future.
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.
