AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
My pieces are conceived as companions rather than possessions. I imbue my objects with organic, animated characteristics, hoping that people will grow attached to them as to pets.
Vincent Decat is a Paris-based artist-designer, graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, who explores the boundaries between design and sculpture. He regards an object's durability not only in its materials, but above all through the emotional bond it evokes. By making his objects almost alive, they become companions that one must care for, guard, and cherish.
Aorta is a chair that awakens the senses. The veins that run through and envelop it invite touch and interaction. This network of vessels, which traverses the entire structure and protrudes from it, makes the piece come alive and brings contact with the object. It is composed of a metal frame covered with clay and plaster.
The piece is functional and equipped with a high seat. It deliberately shows cracks, bearing witness to its artisanal craftsmanship.
