SET OF “APARTÉ BRÛLÉ” STOOLS

AS A LITTLE BITCH, TIMOTHÉE MUSSET SPENDS A LOT OF TIME IN THE OUTDOOR AIR, IN THE HEART OF NATURE. AFTER HIS BAC, HE DECIDED TO GO ON A TOUR OF FRANCE WITH THE COMPAGNONS DU DEVOIR. THIS CARPENTRY APPRENTICESHIP WILL LAST EIGHT YEARS IN CONTACT WITH ANCESTRAL WOOD AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS. FOLLOWING THIS TRIP FULL OF RICHNESS, TIMOTHÉE ENTERED A STUDY OFFICE FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE RETURNING TO CARESS THE MATERIAL. A CARPENTER BY TRAINING, HE BECAME A FURNITURE DESIGNER BY PASSION. HE THEN DECIDED TO TAKE A TRANSMISSION APPROACH, THAT’S WHEN HE CREATED THE MUSSET ATELIER. ALWAYS FASCINATED BY CARPENT WOOD, TIMOTHÉE MAKES THE CHOICE TO WORK ESSENTIALLY ON THIS OFTEN FORGOTTEN MATERIAL. HE OBSERVES, GREASES, COURTS THESE ANCIENT WOODS BEFORE SUBLIMATING THEM, WHILE SHOWING THEIR DEFECTS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR BEAUTY. THE RECOVERY OF THESE WOODS EMPIRE OF HISTORY IS PRIMORDIAL FOR HIM, WOODS THAT HAVE CROSSED THE CENTURIES AND STILL HAVE THINGS TO TELL. TO THE RAW, HEAVY AND MASSIVE APPEARANCE OF THIS MATERIAL, TIMOTHÉE GIVES A NEW DIMENSION, A MORE POETIC DIMENSION. THROUGH THE SIMPLICITY OF THE SHAPES, IT OFFERS A COLLECTION OF CAREFULLY HANDCRAFTED CONTEMPORARY FURNITURE. ACHIEVEMENTS IN SOLID WOOD REVEALING A CERTAIN FORM OF LACE, THROUGH THE RINGS AND SAPS WORKED BY NATURE. ALONE OR IN COLLABORATION, TIMOTHÉE MUSSET'S OBJECTIVE IS TO BRING A NEW LOOK AT WHAT APPEARS TO US TO BE OUTDATED, TO REMEMBER THAT TIME DOES NOT DESTROY, IT SHAPES THE MATERIAL UP TO THE SMALLEST DETAILS, ALL TO BE CONTEMPLATED . SO IN THESE FORMS, BOTH MINIMAL AND RAW, THE CREATOR, THROUGH THE RICHNESS OF THE ANCIENT/CONTEMPORARY DUALITY OFFERS USUAL PIECES WITH A SCULPTURAL TENDENCY, UNIQUE AND LIVING.
