The intuitively designed structure, in which metal sheets are first joined together and then deformed under high pressure, can transform a space. Like a monumental sculpture that is nevertheless able to blend into the new spaces it creates, it redefines its context, reformulating the surrounding architecture.
The radical nature of the formation of the welded composition - which can only be partially controlled and is also determined by external, incalculable forces - is sensitively tempered by the precision of the finish. By being covered with a mosaic, meticulously puzzled and assembled, the piece also contains a particular discipline. An intimate devotion to materiality and texture. The choice of Noir de Mazy, the Belgian limestone used to create the mosaic, is rewarded by enigmatic shades of deep blacks. This suggests an evocative contrast between a form created swiftly and a material that has been shaped over centuries.
