Nurturing an Art of Life based foremost on the respect of Nature, its resources and the balance of its cycles: such is the mission of Dragonfly.
An Art of Life which today takes the form of achievements based on those core values; stays in the great outdoors centred on well-being, artworks to contemplate or meditate, cultures to discover, artisanal objects manufactured and selected to sustainably enhance everyone’s everyday life…
The first stages of this project of well-being and harmony the Dragonfly Art of Life engages in.

Inspired by the Rochechouart meteorite which hit Charente 210 million years ago, the two bowls Voute Céleste (Canopy of Heaven) and Cratère (Crater) embody the before and the after. The interstellar journey and its memory left on the ground. The Crater bowl appropriates the mark it left on the earth in the Mesozoic era.

The Little Prince bracelet by Irina Rasquinet
“The stars are set alight so that one day each one of us may find his own again.” Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
In her “Bijoux-Sculpture”, the artist Irina Rasquinet conveys her encounters with Garance Primat in the wonderful world of fairy-tales, to the enchanting backdrop of the Domaine des Etangs.
Each bracelet a marvel of enchantment tells a story involving a character, which starts with a tangy word used mischievously, to touch the heart of one’s inner child. Her ornate and witty creations, born from this encounter, invite us to rekindle our childhood.
Miniature works of Art, which a woman may wear or enjoy as a gift, their crystals will brighten up the day with their sparkling magic.

Fable des Etangs (Tale of the Ponds) – Photophore
We wished to bring together the clay pot and the iron pot.Combining the fire that shapes and that fires, blending the transparent clay of the kaolin with the opaque bastion of aged pewter. This union resulted in the “Orée du bois” lantern, embedded with a wickerwork pattern, and the “Fable des Etangs” candle holders, inhabited by animals from the Domaine: Hares, Frogs or Snails.

Circles of Life by Anne de Vandière
From Senegal in 2009 to Oman in 2019, Anne travelled across 5 continents and twenty or so countries to meet over 60 tribes, peoples, ethnic groups and communities. No picture was taken without consent, nothing was staged: it is all about connections. For the sale of each picture and thanks to the association TRIBU/S DU MONDE the ethnic groups and tribes will receive a substantial share of the profit.
With her Circles of Life, Anne invites us to share in our everyday lives the ever so strong bond that connects those peoples to Nature.
