'Prosper & Prosper' Set of Two Soft Low Benches by Elissa Lacoste, France, 2020

About the Item

‘Prosper & Prosper’ set of two unique functional art benches or ottomans by French artist and designer, Elissa Lacoste. "The work is conceived as two symmetrical bodies, consisting of steel armatures and a padded silicone envelope, in which metallic skin complexion might evolve from warm copper and golden bronze to cold blue and green through irreversible oxidation. The two soft forms, comfy and functional seats, yet induce a sense of discomfort. Indeed, the morbid aesthetic of the fleshy objects disrupts the distinction between living and non-living, reflecting upon our domination of the material and animal world." Elissa Lacoste is a French designer and artist. She studied at the School of Art and Design of Saint-Etienne and graduated in 2018 from Design Academy Eindhoven. She lives and works in Montréal, Canada since 2019. Hands-on and instinctive, Elissa Lacoste’s work stems from her quest for the wild, the inexplicable, and the sensorial within contemporary boundaries. Unconventionally textured and vibrant, her sculptural pieces linger between the real and the surreal while maintaining a hint of functionality. In her work, she evokes an otherness to reflect upon our relationship to our physical environment, be it anthropogenic or natural. Exhibited in the group exhibition 'LIMBO' in Everyday Gallery, Antwerp.
