CRISPIN
Faux bois (“fake wood”) is a venerable French tradition, an offshoot of trompe-l’œil (“deceive the eye”), in which artisans attempt to
create a life-like representation of wood’s grain in materials that are not wood. Crispin casts a texturally rich faux bois pattern into metal,
shining its light through Spanish alabaster for a beautiful diffusion effect. This combination of materials and textures adds a prestige of
luxury while alluding to a wealth of rich European history.
