LEVANT PENCIL HOLDER, BLUE AND YELLOW
Designed by Guillaume Delvigne
The Levant pencil holder is a piece designed by Guillaume Delvigne for Maison Matisse, part of Les Mille et Une Nuits collection.
Combined with the Levant organizer tray, it creates a set of desk accessories that will easily find their place in your home, on a desk or a shelf for example. Their different color variations, as well as their irregular cuts carved directly into the natural cork, make them adaptable to any type of interior and give them a sober and elegant look.
The Levant desk organizer is available in two colors inspired by the work of 1950. Its cork cup is removable, making its use multiple and clever, and can be nested in the organizer tray to create a whole new object, according to your needs.
DESIGNER
GUILLAUME DELVIGNE
In 2023, Guillaume Delvigne imagined for Maison Matisse a collection of accessories for the office, inspired by the artwork Les Mille et Une Nuits dated from 1950 and which gave its name to the collection.
Entirely made in cork, in Portugal, and hand painted, the collection is very joyful and versatile. It is composed of trays, organizers, shelves, and a stool.
In 2011 he opens his own studio, inaugurates his first personal exhibition at the ToolsGalerie and receives the Grand Prize of the creation of the city of Paris.
Working in various fields like furniture, objects, lights or interior design, he collaborates with manufacturers, editors and craftmen. He leads now a lot of projects for great french companies such as Berluti, Hermès, Givenchy, Pierre Frey, Ligne Roset, Habitat, Lexon or Tefal.
Abroad, his main clients are Fabbian, Hanoia, Frandsen and Karakter Copenhagen.
Since the beginning he likes to collaborate for young editors like La Chance, Hartô or ENOstudio. His designs are regularly exposed during exhibitions in France and abroad and have been awarded or belong to permanent collections. He is a member of the design collective Dito since 2006.

INSPIRATION
The Levant pencil cup takes several codes from the work Les Mille et Une Nuits by Henri Matisse (1950) such as the color palette or the association of shapes and cuts that can be found in the various "scenes" of the painting.
ARTS AND MATERIALS
The cork used to create the pieces imagined by Guillaume Delvigne is a natural material 100% recycled, from eco-managed cork oak forests and produced by a FSC-certified specialist.
First reduced to grain, then sifted to the ideal thickness, it is then "amalgamated" into blocks. Thanks to a very precise machine, the natural cork block is then carved into the edge to form the final piece. All waste from this process is recycled back into the first stage of production.
