Atelier Oï’s stunning Quetzal is a large decorative mobile inspired by the eye-catching plumage of South American quetzals. Thirteen rigid, yet twisting “feathers” are covered with two pieces of Louis Vuitton leather – blue on one side and green on the other – and their edges dyed red. The final feather, longer to give the mobile balance, is covered in red leather, and recalls the birds’ vermilion breasts. Hanging with its feathers unfolded like brightly coloured wings, Quetzal is both an elegant mobile and a beautifully abstract vision of a quetzal in flight.
