AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
My pieces are meant to be companions rather than possessions. I give my objects organic and animated characteristics, hoping that people 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 boundaries between design and sculpture. He views an object's durability not only through its materials but, above all, through the emotional connection it evokes. By making his objects almost alive, they become companions you must care for, keep, and cherish.
Aorta is a chair that awakens the senses. The veins that traverse and surround it invite touch and interaction. This network of vessels, which runs through the entire structure and emerges from it, makes the piece 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 showcases cracks, bearing witness to its artisanal craftsmanship.
