Description

Stacked pieces are built automatically by using or creating parts, scraps, found objects. Each upcycled piece is created according to this principle: all parts are assembled unassembled. A photo session is set up, with a background and two lights. The session starts. At a rapid pace, piles are built, then an image is made. Every 3 minutes, a new piece must be made. The session lasts 40 minutes. At the end of the session, photos are kept. A few days later, I look at the photos then I keep my favorites and finally put them together. This method is another attempt to find new ways to design by letting subconscious actions do the work, leaving aside ego, doubt and calculation. The part name reflects this moment and is labeled Month-Year-Order in the session.

Assembled pieces with traditional handcut joinery. Carved by hand, hand turned, hand painted and lacquered.

About Benjamin Foucaud Visit Showroom →

I’m a human, born in 1980. After years as a creative director for major brands, I trained as an artisan cabinetmaker to learn about my hands and body as other forms of power, freedom and thoughts. Project after project, the practice of gestural know-how has transformed into the practice of a thought as manual work obliges and requires us to think about our relationship with the world and its reality. Today, I put the ideas of art, creation, design and craft to the test of my Humanity, investigating their social, cultural and aesthetic concepts, their aesthetics, their myths and their memory and their industries to make visible their corruption and their beauty. Consequently questioning our values, our beliefs, our paradoxes, our artifices and our realities. Exploring the tensions between chaos and logic, beliefs and rationalism, reality and utopias, chance and control, violence and beauty. Leaving the tensions between craftsmanship and art, functionality and aesthetics to the theories of the past century. Seeking to define myself without the words Design, Art and Craft and avoiding reducing my aesthetic to an essence, I refuse to define myself categorically to accept being like the world around me : unpredictable, plural and ambivalent. I refuse to stick to a signature style and embrace several bodies of work that toughtfully make sense in relation to my own life, environment and encounters, and question the relationship to freedom and individuality of a world where everything must be formatted to be a commodity. I’m trying to be a fearless energy between nothingness and something in front of me that celebrate humanity and life.
