The Birds Chandelier by Jacques Darbaud is an elegant exploration of form and movement. Crafted in white plaster, it features finely modelled birds poised as if about to take flight, a motif that captures both vitality and grace.
Born in 1943 in Aix-en-Provence, Darbaud trained at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière under Jacques Busse, Jean Aujame and Ossip Zadkine, grounding his practice in both classical and modernist traditions. His early career in film set design sharpened his spatial sense—a quality that continues to animate his sculptural and lighting works.
Known for his naturalist style and attention to detail, Darbaud approaches each piece with the precision of a practised sculptor and the emotion of a storyteller. This chandelier exemplifies that balance: the simplicity of plaster is elevated by a sculptor’s hand attuned to nuance and texture, transforming functional light into a poetic presence within the space.
