La Mort En Pastel
Coming soonArchive note
French-language design object poster depicting a skeletal figure in Day-of-the-Dead aesthetic rendered in soft pastel colorways: pink, mint green, lavender, pale yellow. The figure wields an oversized scythe and is posed in confident, almost heroic stance. Typography declares 'Subversif. Fragile. Unique.' — suggesting this as a limited collectible sculpture, installation, or haute couture piece from an alternate 1990s French design movement. The juxtaposition of mortality iconography with candy-colored materiality hints at a now-lost luxury brand or gallery exhibition. Speaks to collectors of European conceptual design, memento mori aesthetics, and pastel-maximalist material culture.
