A Chauffeuse 'replica' — andrewdussert

03. A Chauffeuse ‘replica’ from Collection ‘Wood Walker’ (research)

Rosewood logs, Cherry wood logs, oak logs, walnut logs, maple logs, plane tree logs from branches ‘trash’, black bio-resin (no COV).

This object is a replica idea of 'La Chauffeuse'. For the moment, it is only a 1:10 model for materials testing - it is an assembly of wood essence (Rosewood logs, Cherry wood logs, oak logs, walnut logs, maple logs, plane tree logs from branches ‘trash’) molded with black bio-resin.

Prototype of ‘A Chauffeuse’ in local wooden logs assembled with black resin and customized gold-plated bronze screw 1:10, 2022.

To see the tree behind the object, a way to reconsider our relationship with the living and to put nature back inside our daily life. The assembly of these different species synthesizes the spirit of a forest and tries to tell the intimacy of trees; their families, their colors, their scents, their wrinkles, their ages, their wounds... This collection is an ode to the life of trees. Far from the homogeneous and standardized vision of wood, it reveals its singularity, its preciousness, and the richness of the forest memories it contains.
