Armchair Self Reflection, Polished Mirror Aluminium
About the Item
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced people all over the world to stay at home and practice social distancing, resulting in widespread lockdowns. While this has been a difficult time for many, it has also provided an opportunity for introspection and self-reflection. People have been forced to confront themselves and their thoughts, which has led to a renewed interest in introspection.
In the midst of this introspection, the piece of furniture created by Jean-Baptiste Anotin has taken on new meaning. Its sharp lines and acute angles serve as a metaphor for the introspective process, which can be uncomfortable and even painful at times. The mirror in aluminium represents the self-reflection that is necessary in order to gain a deeper understanding of oneself.
Furthermore, the process of creating the piece is symbolic of the effort required to delve deep into one's own psyche. The laser cutting and sanding required to create the piece are analogous to the effort required to uncover one's true self, while the treatment used to ensure its durability represents the ongoing work necessary to maintain this self-awareness.
Self Reflection is now part of the Mobilier National collection (French Entity)

Waiting For Ideas
Waiting For Ideas is a creative studio that captures moments through Art and Design. Created in 2021 by Jean-Baptiste Anotin. Since his teenage time, Jean-Baptiste Anotin creates. He began by experimenting with automobile painting, reworking old bicycles that were good for breakage. He also played with counterfeit objects, ironically transforming these manufactured and calibrated pieces into unique and personal objects.
Following marketing studies and a first professional experience in the digital world, he realized that creating drives him: bringing new ideas, testing new materials, shaping new pieces. Waiting for Ideas was born.
He then approaches the world of textiles and fashion, through a collection retracing his adolescence. The textile industry being too ephemeral, he turned to another medium: furniture. A first work, entitled No Seat Belt Required, refers to his family history around the automotive industry. Then Self Reflection, which illustrates a tumultuous period, marked by covid and a quest for oneself.
Each piece tells us a story, personal and collective, freezing time to leave a trace.
