Vase Bond No. 10, unique piece

The Bond vase was born from the fusion of my ceramic work and the practice of bondage. The anthropomorphic forms of the distortions clash and come together. All of it is held together by a rope crafted in Shibari.
Shibari means 'to tie, to bind'; this word is used in Japan to describe the art of tying parcels. In the West, it refers to the art of bondage ('kinbaku' in Japanese).
Although the practice involves a certain violence through movement restriction, it is actually an art performed with deep respect for the person or object being restrained. The cordage must be applied with the correct tension; the knots distribute, amplify, or relax the forces exerted around the object depending on their orientation and tightening, all without ever harming, damaging, or breaking the item being attached.
It's all about balance.

About Lucas Huillet:
Trained at the Camondo School in design and interior architecture, this academic path opened the doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as a space for exploration where ceramics, interior architecture and object design intersect around expertise in working with natural materials, allowing him to design unique pieces, which are both everyday objects and works in their own right.
Today, the studio continues to combine artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, with the aim of creating objects that are meaningful and authentic.

Lucas Huillet's creations have been exhibited at Paris Design Week, Collectible in Brussels, and Dubai's Al Shindagha Museum.
