Maison Rapin - The 'Feather' cabinet by Serkan Cura

On the occasion of the 70th edition of BRAFA, Maison Rapin will present the "Feather" Cabinet created by the artist Serkan Cura in 2020. Nearly 9,300 hours of work and a few twists and turns were required for Serkan Cura's feathered cabinet to take flight. Born from the imagination of the feather artist and his collaboration with Maison Rapin, this piece of furniture, entirely covered in rooster feathers (naturally shed during moulting), is a unique gem worthy of the most extravagant curiosity cabinets. The rooster feathers are washed, dried, and sorted by color before being assembled into the 7,500 fans that cover the cabinet. A true change of direction after working on haute couture dresses for Jean-Paul Gaultier and Victoria’s Secret fashion shows, this cabinet is a true challenge, one that Serkan loves to take on! Born in Antwerp, he grew up in Brussels...

ABOUT

True to its Modern Baroque style, Maison Rapin presents at 7 quai de Conti, Paris 6, an atypical mix of historical creations from the 20th century and exclusive contemporary works. Here the eras collide, creating an original universe. The work of major 20th century artists such as Robert Goossens, faithful craftsman to Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, and the goldsmith Jean Després rub shoulders with the contemporary 'jewellery furniture' of KAM TIN, the editions of Maison Rapin and exclusive collaborations with designers and craftsmen (the designer Marc Bankowsky, glassmakers Simone Cenedese and Foddis & Baisi and American ceramist Ryan Labar). All these marvels play with the paintings-sculptures of the Englishman Marc Cavell, a major artist of Op Art.
