Light, Color, Lacquer  

Light, Color, Lacquer  

The Brushed Collection by Pierre Charrie reframes gradient lacquer furniture for contemporary spaces. These shelves, lamps, and clocks glow with shifting color, moving from deep saturation to luminous shine. The centuries-old craft remains, but the forms feel designed for today’s interiors.

Each object balances function and spectacle. A mushroom-shaped lamp adds a playful accent while catching the light in surprising ways. A clock divides time into bold color fields. Even a wall shelf becomes a chromatic canvas. In hospitality corridors or workplace lounges, these pieces become vibrant markers within the space.

The power lies in clarity. Curved edges and glossy finishes let color do the work. Light becomes an active material, alive with reflection. Like the Urushi Lacquer Tub, the Brushed Collection shows how lacquer techniques can thrive in contemporary projects.

Brushed is gradient lacquer furniture at its most expressive. It turns surfaces into installations and transforms rooms into experiences.
