Garden of Beauty
Debuting at the Visionnaire showroom during Design Miami and Art Basel, the Garden
of Beauty exhibit featured Il Pavone, a capsule collection designed by Marc Ange which
draws inspiration from the “Bestiary” of the ancient world and the seductive yet fragile
beauty of the Peacock. It is the only animal that does not possess natural weapons to
protect itself and to fight for its survival. However, the peacock chooses to show its
tail – noteworthy for its stunning plumage – when facing danger, as an emblem of
its extreme beauty. This project is a contemporary allegory, a persuasive message of
hope, that deep and pure beauty will save the world. The capsule is composed of the
Pavone throne – designed as a unique piece available in three different colors – and a
production set of “prêt-à-porter” Pavone armchairs.
