Attrape Reve En Plumes Marron Blanc

Description

Soft brown and white feathers turn slowly in the still air before the rest of the room has woken.

Dream catchers trace their origins to the Ojibwe people of the Great Lakes region of North America, where woven webs suspended within a willow hoop were placed above sleeping children. The web was believed to catch harmful dreams before they could reach the sleeper, while the central opening allowed positive visions to pass through. The radial pattern of the web, which echoes the structure of a spider’s work, is central to the object’s purpose in this tradition. The practice spread across many Indigenous nations over subsequent centuries and later entered the wider vocabulary of artisan and decorative craft.

This piece is built around a circular hoop threaded with a hand-woven web of cord that follows the traditional radial lattice structure. Brown and white feathers, chosen for the contrast between their tones and the way they move gently in circulating air, are attached to hanging cords below the hoop. Small beads are incorporated into the cord at intervals along the strands. The entire construction is assembled by hand, which means each piece carries small natural variations in feather arrangement and cord tension.

No specific dimensions or weight are listed for this piece. It is designed for wall mounting or ceiling suspension, typically positioned above a sleeping area. The piece is handcrafted. Country of origin is not specified.

The object represents a craft tradition with a documented history spanning several centuries. It functions as a textile decoration in any room where a handmade piece is wanted.
