Matthias Biberon Bench in Oak
About the Item
Matthias Biberon (Paris, 1977) lives and works in Perche (Normandy / France).
He began working with wood in 2019, leaving behind photography and ceramics, which he had practiced successfully for many years. In wood, he finds the pleasure of imagining shapes and building them, with a combination of both naivety and attention to detail, and a freedom that neither conceptualism nor ceramics had given him. His furniture is organic, respecting the original shape of the wood and following its knots and veins. The search for balance and precision is one of the cornerstones of Matthias's work.
Carefully sourced, the wood types used - Oak, Elm, Cedar, Walnut - have been dried for decades, giving them an unrivalled patina. His trademark? Visible construction and the blending of materials, with stone a natural addition to his creations; for each of them, he seeks a form of balance, purity and softness, a functionality that is both poetic and sculptural, the simplicity and force of a haiku.
Passionate about art, it was while progressing towards Arts & Crafts that he embraced the aesthetics of functionalism, Mingeï and the thinking of William Morris. He is sensitive to the Arte Povera of Jannis Kounellis and Giovanni Anselmo, the Zen influence of John Cage, the freedom of Don Cherry and the minimalism of Carl Andre and Agnès Martin. And to the Japan of wabi-sabi and Ikkyu, a country whose purity and aesthetics of the tea ceremony have particularly influenced him.
Although design was not previously part of this self-taught man's culture, he now displays a sober style reminiscent of Georges Nakashima, Jean Touret Les Artisans de Marolles and Pierre Chapo.

Matthias Biberon Oak Dinning Table 2024
By Matthias Biberon
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
These Dinning Table is a typical Matthias Biberon work, old oak wood, well seasoned, a wood that has been dried for over 40 years, giving it a special patina. All joints are visible, the artist's signature in the pure Japanese influence of Mingei thought and Wabi Sabi. This is the beauty of the everyday object, one whose details we never tire of rediscovering.
