Petite Table D’Angle Dr Ed

Description

ManufacturerAtelier Haussmann
Designer HervHumbert

Petite table dangle is an unusual table object in which Humbert blurs theboundaries between art and design.The series developed for Atelier Haumann is comprised of 31 unique objectseach consisting of a remnant marble slab with a breakpoint, surrounded by asteel angle frame which has been individually composed to match the randomshape of the slabs, yet remaining open at the breakpoint. Unexpected perspectivesoccur as a result of this tabletop which juts out like a cliff-hanging overthe frame and the arrangement of the table legs is reminiscent of architecturalstructures.

The small corner table is a game of confronting common habits of seeing. Inthis first pursuit of Humbert to create purely an object of design, he follows thesame approach as he does in his artworks. He does not look for suitable formsfor industrial implementation of his idea, he devotes himself to the materialinstead. The result, a sculpture that functions as a piece of furniture.

Issues of sustainability concerning the reuse of the marble slabs deemed uselessfor conventional use are just as much integrated into Petite table dangleas the traces on the materials which bear witness of the extraction and furthermanufacturing processes, because they remain, just like the different grainssuggesting the country of origin, as an image and a history.
