Moorcroft La Vague | Made to Order

Paul Saintenoy was one of Brussels’s most prominent architects, inside his house, was one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau stained glass windows. Based on an image by painter Henri Privat-Livemont, the window showcases a woman emerging from the centre of a swell of Japanese inspired waves. Called ‘La Vague’ (The Wave), the stained-glass window refers to the print The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, in which a huge wave bears down on three boats. New Paragraph Designer, Nicola Slaney, wanted to create a prestigious piece as part of the Art Nouveau Collection. Around the base of her vase, an ethereal woman emerges from the sea, her hair adorned with seashells, together with seaweed intermingled amongst her own flowing locks. Above her is the sea itself, created by the clever use of small fan shaped blue arcs, which leads your eye to the sky which is infused with a soft, golden glow as the evening’s sun sets.
