The wool-felted artwork Terre et Ciel (Earth and Sky) takes its title from the surroundings where it was recently installed; the private client's house in the French town of Tourtour. Studio Claudy Jongstra was inspired by the dark earth in the immediate area where many truffles grow and by the clear, bright and sunny sky.
