Augusta presents Ethereal blend, an exhibition celebrating the work of Roxane Lahidji with sea salt. This solo show features a curated selection of the designer’s latest creations and iconic pieces to highlight the unique nature of her work.
Roxane Lahidji, founder of Marbled Salts, creates furniture and objects in an innovative material she has developed from sea salt. On the occasion of Ethereal blend, her solo show at Augusta, she pushes the boundaries of both the material and her creative process and indulges her love of experimentation. The exhibition showcases some of her most recent creations and developments. These include Shirokuro, a low table combining salt and wood. While designing this unique piece for the exhibition, the designer created a dialogue and a contrast between the whiteness and lightness of the salt, her core material, and burned offcuts of wood that evoke a tree stump covered in snow.
The Awa landscapes, impressive salt wall pieces reminiscent of snow as well as of the seabed were also created for Ethereal blend. Augusta is proud to show the first two compositions of this series of unique artworks.
In addition to Roxane Lahidji’s latest research, Augusta is showcasing emblematic Marbled Salts studio pieces such as the Hana Original table and the Planet lamps. These distinctive pieces have shaped the identity of the studio along the years and continue to evolve in form, size and colour with Roxane Lahidji’s mastery of the material she developed. The exhibition highlights their most recent versions.
Thought as a snapshot of her virtuosity as well as a place for reinvention, this solo show is an opportunity to highlight Roxane Lahidji’s innovative and distinctive work which has been praised from New York to London.
