Luminaire Boréal

The craftsman behind Luminaire Boréal is Jocelyn Bélair. Musician, cabinetmaker and wood turner. Everything is designed, manufactured and assembled in my workshop. When cutting the blind, the log can weigh a few tens of pounds. Once the piece is finished, it weighs only a few hundred grams.

The outside is first turned to the desired size and lines, then the log is hollowed out until the walls become thin enough to be translucent. The rest of the work is done with a bulb placed outside the turned part. The light serves as a guide in order to obtain a constant thickness and translucency throughout the height of the lampshade.

The lampshade will then be dried, finely sanded and oiled. Thin walls give it strength because it can expand or contract with changes in humidity.

L'artisan derrière Luminaire Boréal est Jocelyn Bélair. Musicien, ébéniste et tourneur sur bois. Tout est conçu, fabriqué et assemblé dans mon l'atelier. Lors du débitage de l'abat-jour, la bûche peut peser quelques dizaines de livres. Une fois la pièce terminée, elle ne pèse que quelques centaines de grammes.

L'extérieur est d'abord tourné à la dimension et aux lignes souhaitées, ensuite la bûche est évidée jusqu'à ce que les parois deviennent assez minces pour être translucides. La suite du travail se fait à l'aide d'une ampoule placée à l'extérieur de la pièce tournée. La lumière sert de guide afin d'obtenir une épaisseur et une translucidité constante sur toute la hauteur de l'abat-jour.

L'abat-jour sera ensuite séché, poncé finement et huilé. Les parois minces lui procure sa force car il pourra se dilater ou se contracter selon les changements d'humidité.
