LAQ Products
Collection #2 — Famous
After the launch in 2010 of a first collection including three tables made from the traditional techniques of lacquering, this year LAQ reveals several new special pieces. Made by 2, 4 or 6 hands, they happen to enrich the imaginary world of LAQ by telling new stories developped through unique encounters. After two years of meticulous preparation, LAQ now redefines with this collection the limits of high-quality craftsmanship in the world of home interiors. Neither totally Art, nor completely design, it offers pieces that might be part of tomorrow’s collections.

Collection #1 — Hybrid
For its first collection “HYBRID”, LAQ imagined three tables, three boxes made with traditional techniques of lacquering but still with contemporary products, which offer a very rich palette of colours. Each piece is first mounted on canvas, then recovered with seven successive coats of lacquer applied with a paint brush, and hand sanded after having dried. Each tint of lacquer is made-to-measure from pigments chosen carefully.
Some of them contain mother-of-pearl, gold or silver leaves, bones, shagreen or eggshell. Each of these precious techniques is used to develop the creations both irreverent and referenced of the house. For this first collection, LAQ has chosen to work the archetype of the table and apply to it decorations “statement” as narrative as conceptual. Each piece requires two months of work to be finished.
