The degradé technique in the Phantom capsule is a sophisticated process where colors gradually transition from one shade to another, imbuing the leather with a sense of fluidity and depth. Sfumato, which is a fine, smoky texture, allows for these gradients to appear almost like they are softly melting into one another.
Delvaux’s Phantom capsule marries the precision of craftsmanship with the emotional weight of fine art. The homage to Rothko’s red series goes beyond a mere visual reference; it captures the artist’s philosophy of color as a means of expressing profound emotional depth.
By incorporating the degradé technique on sfumato leather, Delvaux has created pieces that feel both modern and timeless, artistic yet functional, appealing to those who appreciate both fashion and fine art.
