Local wooden low chair with customized gold-plated bronze screw, made in Pantin by Perron & Freres. Cherry wood, oak, walnut, maple, plane tree and gold-plated bronze. 805x415x415mm, 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.

Within this time-space of ambiguous character, the present is seen as the interconnection of an indissociable past and future. While the past, which seemed to have passed, still exists here, the future is itself already present. Between continuity and rupture, juxtaposition or timelessness, the thresholds support the precarious balance of the forms. On the edge of completion [past] as well as of the beginning [upcoming], these places of borders embrace their transitory qualities. From one space to another as from one state to another, space is here linked to passage, to transformation. Almost a non-place, a simple succession of open doors, it borrows from those spaces that govern the balance [present] between different environments: the waiting room, the SAS or the lobby.
