The well-established high-end brand Larose Guyon is proud to introduce Saule, a handcrafted lighting collection that draws inspiration from the graceful beauty of the willow tree. Each fixture in this collection captures the essence of nature with its intricate design and organic textures, reflecting their commitment to blending natural elegance with refined craftsmanship.

A celebration of nature’s grace, inspired by the delicate beauty of the willow tree, Saule is the latest lighting fixture collection designed to bring the serene elegance of nature into any interior. Each piece in the Saule collection is meticulously handcrafted in Larose Guyon's Verchères, Canada studio, where their talented artisans ensure that every detail embodies the natural world’s essence. With hand-formed brass leaves cascading from elegant metal arches, Saule mirrors the gentle sway of willow branches, catching the light and creating a mesmerizing shimmer.

The development of the Saule collection was a year-long journey, as Larose Guyon sought to capture the abstract beauty of the willow tree in a way that felt both elegant and organic.

"It took numerous attempts to refine the design, striving to find the perfect balance between the flowing grace of willow leaves and the fixture’s overall harmony. Achieving that balance of refined elegance while maintaining the natural, organic essence of the piece was a challenging but rewarding process," says Audrée Larose, co-founder of Larose Guyon. "The result is a lighting fixture that captures the spirit of nature with timeless sophistication, and a new collection that we are very proud and excited to launch."

This collection marks a new chapter for Larose Guyon's commitment to blending high-end design with nature’s timeless beauty, offering an experience in any space.

Handcrafted with patience and care, like a jeweller’s art

"Each leaf in the Saule collection is meticulously cut and hand-formed by our talented team in our Verchères studio, with an immense amount of time, patience, and care invested into every detail," says Félix Guyon, co-founder of Larose Guyon.

The process is akin to the intricate work of a jeweller, where precision and craftsmanship come together to create something truly extraordinary. Every leaf is shaped with love and attention, ensuring that the final piece exudes the delicate beauty and organic flow that defines the Saule collection, making each fixture not just a light, but a work of art.

At the center of each fixture is a slightly pink glass globe arrangement, reminiscent of a delicate fruit suspended among the branches. Each glass globe is handblown by a skilled glass artisan in Montreal, adding an extra layer of craftsmanship to the design. The globes are crafted with a smaller, soft glass globe nestled inside a larger one, creating a stunning interplay of shapes, textures, and light. The soft, warm glow it emits enhances the organic flow of the design. This intricate design technique results in a unique, layered aesthetic that enhances the organic feel of the fixture, making every piece truly one of a kind. The combination of these two glass elements creates a delicate visual depth that complements the natural elegance of the Saule collection.

The serene movement of the Saule collection

The multiple brass arches in the Saule collection reflect the elegance of tree branches, adding both volume and height to the fixture, as seen in its flowing design. Each arch creates a graceful, sculptural frame that elevates the fixture’s overall presence. Inspired by the movement of mobile, the Saule fixture gently sways with the breeze, bringing a soft, kinetic energy to the space. The brass leaves, draping delicately from the arches, shimmer as they catch the light, echoing the natural sway of willow foliage. This dynamic, yet refined design transforms any room into a serene, nature-inspired sanctuary.

"We wanted to design a fixture that captures the essence of movement in a simple, natural way – just like the gentle rustling of wind through leaves," adds Félix Guyon.

Tailored in small and large sizes for every space

Larose Guyon has developed both small and large versions of the Saule fixture to seamlessly suit a variety of spaces. Each size is designed to capture the same elegance and organic beauty while offering flexibility in scale. Whether you’re looking to highlight a cosy area or make a statement in a grand room, Saule provides the perfect solution.

To further enhance its versatility, Larose Guyon has created configurations of one, three, or five fixtures for both sizes. This modular approach allows Saule to adapt to a multitude of settings, whether it’s illuminating a long dining table, casting light down a staircase, or creating a dramatic focal point above a round table. With its flexible design options, Saule becomes a captivating choice for any interior, effortlessly enhancing both residential and commercial spaces.

Saule transforms light into an experience that reflects the beauty and calm of nature. Saule is more than just a lighting fixture; it is a handcrafted masterpiece designed to infuse your home with the elegance, serenity, and organic charm of the natural world.

Floor samples will be showcased in their complete form at Larose Guyon's studio showroom in Verchères, offering visitors a chance to experience the craftsmanship and intricate details up close. This display allows guests to fully appreciate the unique design and quality of each piece in a tangible setting.
