Hélène DE SAINT LAGER
Born in Paris (France), in 1957
By an atypical route, Hélène de SAINT LAGER, artist-designer has created an original concept of cast metal: “random aluminum.” After getting a very good reception from the interior designer Jacques Garcia, she develops this concept in installations, furniture, sculptures and jewellery. We discover in the working of this highly original material, all her own, this eclecticism full of poetry which is her characteristic as a person and as an artist.
