Description from the seller
My pieces are conceived to be companions rather than possessions. I give my objects organic and animated characteristics, hoping that people will grow attached to them as one would to pets.
Vincent Decat is a Paris-based artist-designer, a graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven, who explores the boundaries between design and sculpture. He considers an object's durability not only through its materials but above all through the emotional connection it engenders. By making 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 and envelop it invite touch and interaction. This network of vessels, which traverses the entire structure and emerges 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 fitted with a high seat. It intentionally shows cracks, bearing witness to its artisanal crafting.
