A Masterpiece of Post-Modern Design: The André Dubreuil “Lacrima Coupe” Bowl
Presenting a true collector's piece—the iconic "Lacrima Coupe" bowl by the celebrated designer André Dubreuil. Crafted circa 1990, this extraordinary work of art is a stunning example of Dubreuil's unique and innovative approach to furniture and design. Known for his "baroque-punk" style, Dubreuil expertly merges industrial materials with a sculptural, almost organic aesthetic.
This piece, with its bold form and intricate detailing, is more than just a bowl; it's a conversation starter and a functional sculpture. The bowl is made from beautifully patinated metal, with the rich, dark finish highlighting the hand-wrought texture of the bronze or iron. The metal is shaped into an elegant, asymmetric form that evokes the fluid shape of a teardrop, giving the piece its poetic name, "Lacrima Coupe."
What makes this bowl truly exceptional is the masterful use of high-quality glass inserts. These are believed to be Daum crystal or colored glass, a collaboration that elevates the piece from a simple design object to a work of fine art. The glass is seamlessly integrated into the metal frame, creating a striking contrast between the raw, industrial metal and the delicate, luminous glass. This bowl is a testament to Dubreuil's artistic vision and his ability to transform materials into a piece of emotional and historical significance.
This particular "Lacrima Coupe" bowl is signed by André Dubreuil, a detail that confirms its authenticity and value as a genuine work by the artist.
