The fair took place in New York at Water Street Projects from Thursday, September 5th to Sunday, September 8th, 2024.

THREE INSTALLATIONS. THREE MEMORIES.

The objects work independently and as a whole. A wall object, a table representing an original used design, but also an object representing free art and creation.

She brought three unique objects to Collectible. Each of them is different, each of them represents Elis's different approach to creation and materials. However, all three are united by one thought and memory. And that memory of summer, the summer rays and shadows that each of us likes to observe. 

Elis Monsport. Multidisciplinary artist and designer who focuses on the complexity of glass engraving.

Applied art / Artisanal coffee table

Artisanal coffee table with an engraved plate is a memory of summer days spent in the shelter of trees, gardens and their shadow figures formed by the hot sun. The table is composed of a massive base made from blown glass, and the upper part of the glass plate, which is engraved.

FORESTER GLASSWARE COLLECTION

Inspiration from the book "Lesák" and an adventurous journey through the Pyrenees inevitably merged into the shape of the shots, cast from a piece of cork wood found on this very path.

"Just as the woodsman wandered through the Czech groves, I too became a pilgrim in my own novel. A piece of wood that has travelled with me through the Pyrenees can now travel to you. And pass on the never-ending thirst for adventure."
