Toi et Moi explores the nature of love: one side holds more power, the other remains gentler, quieter, perhaps more innocent.This sculptural seat embodies the delicate tension between form and emotion. It invites closeness yet imposes distance, its central divide shaping the space between two bodies. A physical and metaphorical barrier, it speaks of love that remains unfulfilled - yet for those whose connection is undeniable, the boundary is not a limit but a threshold.With its smooth, curved form, the Toi et Moi Loveseat guides the body into a precise yet unexpected dialogue. The metallic surface, cool to the touch, gradually warms, responding to presence. Though cast in solid brass resin over an inox base, it remains light in its expression, jewel-like in its polish, yet undeniably organic in form.Measuring 160 x 127 x 120 cm, the Toi et Moi Loveseat is handcrafted in Paris, its body meticulously shaped and polished by master artisans. The brass surface captures light with a quiet radiance, emphasizing both the piece’s sculptural presence and the nuances of its materiality.Limited to an edition of eight, each piece stands as an objet d’art, rare and resolute. More than a seat, it is a meditation on intimacy and separation, a sculptural dialogue between form and feeling.Beyond its physical presence, it lingers—an echo of the timeless tensions that shape the human heart.Atelier ElleryMy practice is rooted in architectural form, material tension, and the relationship between object and body. I work primarily with metals—materials that carry weight, memory, and permanence—shaped into sculptural pieces that invite both physical and visual interaction. These objects often explore gravitational dynamics, considering how weight, balance, and form affect the way the body approaches, responds to, or is held by a structure.These forms often explore boundaries: between intimacy and distance, stillness and movement, structure and softness. Many of my works can be touched, sat in, or moved; kinetic elements are introduced to create a sense of calm, presence, and responsiveness. A movement might echo the body’s gesture or rhythm, subtly shifting how one relates to space.I’m interested in how sculpture can function as a site; something to enter into, rest within, or observe quietly. By folding materials around imagined or real bodies, I seek to create objects that hold a charge: sculptural presences that feel at once solid and open, architectural and emotional.Each piece is a study in form, but also feeling; how a curve invites approach, how a divide becomes a threshold, how metal, when worked by hand, retains the trace of care.
