Chair wood, metal (materials found and stored in Utrecht) Unique piece 75 x 46 x 50 cm. 2019 Unique chair Wood, metal (Chair composed from found and stored materials from Utrecht) 29.53 x 18.11 x 19.69 in Note : - In the course of encounters and discoveries, the man who presents himself as a designer, an artist and an architect proposes to glean from local resources in order to compose the organization of a room or to create a functional piece for the house. The identity of the territory can be read through the story of objects and natural materials collected during his peregrinations. He applies this way of living and creating to each of his projects and rooms, where the dialogue with the inhabitants and the energy of a place are at the heart of a coherent and sustainable interior design. Nothing is wasted, everything can be recycled. By patiently selecting the scraps and waste generously offered to whoever pays attention, he imagines new combinations with infinite possibilities. Without pretense of excessive theorizing, he accepts without criticism the squandered material wealth and reveals the little treasures that are the salt of life." Magalie Guérina
