Vase Bond n7, unique piece

The Bond vase was born from the alliance of my work in ceramics and the practice of bondage. The anthropomorphic forms of the distortions clash and come together. The whole is contained by a cordage made in Shibari.
Shibari means “tied, bound,” a word used in Japan to describe the art of tying parcels; in the West it designates the art of bondage (“kinbaku” in Japanese).
Even though 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 tied. 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 this without ever hurting, damaging, or breaking the thing being tied.
Everything is a matter of balance.

About Lucas Huillet:
Formed at École Camondo in design and interior architecture. This academic path opened doors to collaborations with prestigious houses and institutions.
In 2018, he created his studio as a space of exploration where ceramics, interior architecture, and object design intersect around expertise in working with natural materials, allowing the creation of unique pieces that are at once everyday objects and full-fledged works of art.
Today, the studio continues to combine traditional craft with contemporary innovation, with the aim of creating objects that carry meaning and authenticity.

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