Mélanie Laplante, glass artist: jewelry and decorative objects

The name of her line of glass jewelry and homeware, MÉLA, comes from the first syllables of her name: MÉlanie LAplante. But mela also means "to gather" in Sanskrit. A nod to the thermoforming technique, fusion, which she mainly uses to make her creations.

"For me, glass is a dense material that makes light vibrate. I like to superimpose layers of colored glass, which, transformed by heat, forms a movement whose traces can be seen in each piece. I add my own touch, cold-faceting angles to follow the curves created by the heat. A paradox in itself, to rework heat with cold!"
