Cedric Breisacher is a designer-sculptor whose research practice is based on experimentation through making. His research is characterised by an essential approach to the object. With no superfluous elements, his creations are at the crossroads of organics and minimalism, in which this contrast allows us to re-establish a relationship with matter.

Exploring the living environment is at the root of his approach. His approach is sensitive and iterative, questioning the processes involved in creating forms. He mainly uses hand tools to reconnect with the making process. Inspired by the natural environment and guided by a search for simplicity, his manual work is characterised by a return to the essential. By including his own body in the sculptural process, he creates a connection between the human being and the living material. He uses the trace of the tool as a witness to the present moment, where the tool becomes the mediator of the relationship between two living beings. The collaboration he forges merges into a dialogue that respects the living.

His workshop is part of a circular production system, and he uses his wood shavings to shape new pieces, seeing reused material as a new source of materiality, repositioning our relationship with production and the need to reproduce our objects locally.
