CARLÈS & DERMARQUET
IT'S LIKE A REMNANT IN THE CALANQUES. LIKE A MYSTERY WITHOUT SURPRISE, AN UNDATEABLE ARTIFACT, PAST OR FUTURE, BUT WHOSE INTIMATE ESSENCE WE WOULD KNOW WITHIN OURSELVES WITHOUT NAMING IT. IT'S LIKE THE DAILY PRESENCE OF A DREAM WORLD, LIKE DRAWING THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL MAP OF A FANTASIZED, ENDURING AND MINERAL CIVILIZATION. ROOTED IN THE SHARED FOUNDATION OF AN IDEAL ANTIQUITY, THE CARLÈS DEMARQUET WORKSHOP OFFERS A SERIES OF FOSSIL OBJECTS WHOSE USE, INTUITIVE WITHOUT BEING OBVIOUS, IS MORE SUGGESTED THAN IMPOSED. SHAPING WOOD TO BLUR ITS NATURE, WHETHER ANIMAL OR VEGETAL, CORAL, REEF OR SHELL, THEY WORK TO MAKE IT BOTH MILLENNIAL AND TIMELESS. FROM THEIR MARSEILLE WORKSHOP, THE TWO ARTISANS PERPETUATE A TRADITION OF WOODWORKING DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE MEDITERRANEAN ART OF LIVING. THEY DESIGN, AS UNIQUE PIECES OR LIMITED EDITIONS, FURNITURE AND OBJECTS THAT ARE MODERN, TIMELESS, SOLAR AND AQUATIC. LIKE A PANORAMA OF A FORGOTTEN ISLAND, AN UNDERWATER ARK WHERE LOST TIME STILL LIVES.
