The SHAVE collection reflects the intention to use as few elements as possible to create functional furniture. In fact, only three oak planks are used. The technical assembly is rudimentary, with a long mortise and tenon joint providing sufficient support. An assembly of three pieces of wood to fulfil a simple function. At first glance, a single piece, the sculpting process reveals the wood and masks the joints. Hand-carved, the line vibrates in the light, becoming more refined on the edge of the furniture, revealing its archetypal design. The work of the hand is emphasised by the finesse of the line in search of its vibration. Light, fine and minimal, this piece has become the Atelier's signature.
About the artist
Self taught, I came from industrial design studies to wood shaping. Its carving process always starts by feeling emotions through a living material and then are characterized in a physical moment. My work seeks to an essential approach of the object without superflu in which I try to lead to an ultra local manufacturing.
Based in Lille, my workshop aims to become a circular place where no material is wasted. Inspired by nature and simple assembly, hand work is central in my approach. I am using hand tool traces that have a testimony of a living entity. This collaboration between two living elements merge to a vital dialogue about our condition and respect of living organisms.
