The “Vaillance” sculpture embodies the majestic power and nobility of the wolf, while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Measuring 78 centimeters in height, 37 centimeters in width and 101 centimeters in length, this work is distinguished by its sturdy steel structure, covered by a luxurious leather envelope. “Vaillance” is the fruit of a unique partnership between Hippolyte and leatherworker and craftswoman Anaïs Portier, who combined their talents to create an innovative piece of designer art.

The choice of leather to cover the sculpture adds a dimension of luxury and sophistication. Each patch of leather, of different varieties and colors, is meticulously sewn to form a kind of elegant sock around the steel structure. This technique, though complex, lends the sculpture a rich texture and unique visual depth, transforming “Vaillance” into a truly singular work of art.

The collaboration with Anaïs Portier fuses the traditional techniques of leatherwork with the contemporary art of sculpture. The leathers used are of the highest quality, selected for their durability and natural beauty. Each piece of leather brings a distinct touch, contributing to a harmonious mosaic that celebrates the diversity and richness of natural materials.

“Vaillance” is more than just a sculpture; it’s a statement of style and luxury. The softness of the leather contrasts magnificently with the strength of the depicted wolf, creating a work that is both imposing and refined. This exceptional piece invites viewers to appreciate not only the artistic form of the wolf, but also the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into it. It reflects Hippolyte and Anaïs Portier’s desire to push the boundaries of artistic creation by exploring new frontiers of design and luxury.

Thus, “Vaillance” is positioned as a high-end work of art, aimed at those who appreciate uniqueness and elegance in their collection. It’s a celebration of nature, craftsmanship and innovation, a tribute to the wolf and the timeless beauty of leather.
