fallenTree
Morning Mist Collection
YMER&MALTA/ Benjamin Graindorge
2011
A sincere, organic piece of poetry, fallenTree is a unique object with its singular shape and the natural presence of oak branches. In order to better evoke the lack of gravity, the base is made from highly technical optical glass, the perfect transparency gives the dreamlike illusion of a slight imbalance.
This bench was presented at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire Louis Senlecq, at the Forêt L’Îsle Adam, at the Musée Quadrilatère in Beauvais, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, de la Faïence et de la Mode in Marseille, at the Musée d’Art Contemporain in Saint Étienne, at the Louvre Abu-Dhabi in the UAE and at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris.
