Vase Bond n9, unique piece

The Bond vase was born from the union of my ceramic work and the practice of bondage. The anthropomorphic shapes of the deformities clash and come together. All is contained by a cordage made in Shibari.
Shibari means “tied, bound”; this word is used in Japan to describe the art of tying parcels, whereas in the West it designates the art of bondage (“kinbaku” in Japanese).
Even if the practice evokes a certain violence, by restricting movement, it is in fact an art performed with deep respect for the person or object that is bound. The rope must be applied with the right tension; the knots distribute, amplify or release the forces it exerts around the piece according to their orientation and tightness, and never injure, damage or break the thing being tied.
All about balance.

Formed at the Camondo School in design and interior architecture. This academic path opened doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as an exploration space where ceramics, interior architecture and object design intersect around expertise in working with natural materials, enabling the creation of unique pieces that are at once everyday objects and full works in their own right.
Today, the studio continues to blend artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, aiming to create objects with meaning and authenticity.

Lucas Huillet’s creations have been exhibited notably at Paris Design Week, Collectible in Brussels, and Dubai’s Al Shindagha Museum.
