AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
My pieces are designed to be companions rather than possessions. I give my objects organic, animated characteristics, hoping people will grow attached to them as to pets.
Vincent Decat is a Paris-based artist-designer, a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, who explores the borders between design and sculpture. He considers the durability of an object not only through its materials but, above all, through the emotional connection it evokes. By making his objects seem almost alive, they become companions that one must care for, keep, and cherish.
Aorta is a chair that awakens the senses. The veins running through and enveloping it invite touch and interaction. This network of vessels, which traverses the whole structure and emerges from it, makes the piece feel alive and brings the user into contact with the object. It is composed of a metal frame covered with clay and plaster.
The piece is functional and features a high seating position. It deliberately shows cracks, bearing witness to its artisanal craftsmanship.
