SubtileCoffee table.Frédéric SaulouMaterials: Trélazé black slate, gray smoked glass.Dimensions: 17 x 130 x 30 cm.Edition of 8.Signed and numbered.“While wandering in the streets I have been observing buildingsconstruction toward the sky and found myself eagerly interestedin slate material and ornamental stones.I am wondering about post-industrial heritage of local mineralmaterial and widen the range of possibilities in creating functionalobjects for the house and in questioning history, material andits usual impact between art and design. Thus, I want to distort,democratize and increase the value of this material as a futureheritage and above all as a food for thought. To bring traditionaland Industrial know-how face to face for creative purposes, toreinterpret the material in formal and conceptual ways so as toprovide it a new understanding. The exhibition “Domestiquer”introduces a series of work coming from researches andpartnerships between local companies and designer, andimplemented to another scale, that of the object and contemporarycreation.”.
