Heedful Serie: Vase #1
Transforming raw male cork tubes, considered waste, into single-use moulds. Fire, glass, and cork merge to preserve ghostly fragments of the donor tree.
Following the collection of raw Corsican cork destined for landfill, the seed of a minimal intervention began to germinate, exploring the potential of capturing the material’s imprint through contact. Its resistance to fire and abrasion makes cork an intriguing material for further research, bringing together two environments that seem fundamentally opposed: the controlled setting of the glassblowing studio and the uncontrollable processes of natural production.
The Heedful Series seeks to explore the sculptural qualities of this encounter through a formal and chromatic investigation specific to glass.

Corte Project
Corte Project
Freshly arrived in Corsica, designer Florian Meca has three months to design and build prototype furniture for emergency accommodation. In the hills above Corte, the young designer will immerse himself in the island’s natural resources and traditional craftsmanship.
Offering a unique insight into the French designer’s creative process, Corte Project documents the different stages in the development of a design project deeply rooted in its local context.
Entirely self-funded, this documentary film offers a sensitive and human perspective on Florian Meca’s creative journey. Over the course of three months, the camera follows the encounters, experiments and craftsmanship that shape a committed design project, bringing together territory, materials and the transmission of knowledge.
