Description from the seller
My pieces are designed to be companions rather than possessions.
I endow my objects with organic, animated characteristics, hoping that people grow attached to them as to pets.
Vincent Decat is a Paris-based artist-designer, educated at the Design Academy Eindhoven, who explores the boundaries between design and sculpture. He considers the durability of an object not only through its materials but above all through the emotional bond it evokes. By rendering his objects almost alive, they become companions that one must care for, keep, and cherish.
Aorta is a chair that awakens the senses.
The veins that run through it and enwrap it invite touch and interaction. This network of vessels, which traverses the entire structure and extends from it, makes the piece feel alive and brings contact with the object.
It is composed of a metal framework covered with clay and plaster.
The piece is functional and equipped with a high seating. It deliberately shows cracks, bearing witness to its artisanal craftsmanship.
