Contemporary Burned and polished White Chestnut wood - Cast Brass Tondel Bench

About the Item

A gently finished white chestnut tree trunk that was worked for years by the passage of nature. With typical and lovely Belgian weather : Rain, snow, sun, moisture and dryness, sometimes all in 1 day This intense course of nature gave this piece fantastic dramatic markings and chervings. Tanguy came across this piece and instantly fell in love to give life back to this naturally crafted piece. The piece got a woodworkers spa treatment by Tanguy and was later added with several of his Tondel castings. Making this is a perfect statement piece for an entrance hall or any space. Equipped with functional hidden wheels makes this piece very easy and light sensitive to move as well graduated as a cooling engineer, tanguy immediately had the feeling of wanting to create something himself. At the age of 18 het founded with his partner Julie their custom-made company Fo Le Fer. With no experience and no knowledge of the material and the trade, they managed to work everything themselves to a high level. After years of working for high-end clients on behalf of, Tanguy felt that this was not his only path and that he wanted to create himself, truly himself. With his experience of the past years and the knowledge that he taught himself of the material, he developed his own style. Triggered by new techniques and materials and driven to excel, tanguy taught himself everything. Self-taught as he is, he developed in combination with his endless creativity his own style and vision on materiality. Not having had any classical training, tanguy is multidisciplinary and does not shy away from challenges because he would not have worked with them yet. It is very important for him to create objects and pieces that the audience is drawn to touch, want to smell and really live with the piece. Not only the visual aspect is important but really interacting contributes to the experience of the piece. Daring and imaginative designs that take its place in an environment. Often inspired by nature and his surroundings, he develops pieces by first making sketches, to contemplate and philosophize about life and then bring them to life with his own hands. He always works with pure and honest materials and most often with hand-cast brass. Driven to seek the limits of materials and the limits of his own capacities, he is always exploring new techniques, materials and designs. graduated as a cooling engineer, tanguy immediately had the feeling of wanting to create something himself.
