Lionel Jadot, Jam Seat Brass, BE
About the Item
Lionel Jadot’s Jam Seat, is adapted from a design prototype created sometime between 1905-1910 by Jadot’s great-grandfather, the head of the legendary Vanhamme family of furniture makers. Inspired by the more geometric forms of the late Vienna Secession movement, the forward thinking chair design dismisses traditionalist style in favor of a modern, streamline look, rendered in a single material. The design is distilled into four flat planes of cut brass sheet that are pieced together like an angular puzzle. The reductive and planar form of Jam Seat predates similar conceptual designs such as Dutch designer Gerrit Rietveld’s Red and Blue Chair, created in 1917 and Shiro Kuramata’s Glass chair from 1976.
While not easily categorized by a singular style, Jadot’s work could most easily be recognized by his affinity for repurposed materials and his deft eye at creating harmony and balance out of the collision of disparate elements. With the vision and confidence to experiment and evolve, Jadot has made a practice of skirting tradition by mixing genres, inspirations, and materials to achieve his iconoclastic vision. Key to his work process is a strong belief in craftsmanship and integrity in terms of behavior and approach.
The principle of reclamation has been relevant to Jadot from a young age. As a child in his father’s workshop, Jadot developed a keen attraction and respect for materials, coveting the bits of scrap wood and leather that would accumulate around the floor and had been deemed “fair game.” Today this manifests as both a philosophical and aesthetic tenet to his work. Manipulating materials that have been salvaged permeates the works with a sense of character, history, and humanity.
Working from a near photographic mental library of materials and influences, he is at once artist, tinkerer, and inventor. He explains, “What interests me is ideas passing though memory, and the influences mixing. Culture meeting subculture, mixing genre, from memory. I filled notebooks of ideas and with this approach I decided to achieve all that was in my notebooks. It is an exciting job; it’s more an expression, free of any constraints. But it is also a free reflection on design and art, and this fragile border that I love to cross in both directions.”

Lionel Jadot and Zaventem Ateliers, Spin Love, BE
By Lionel Jadot
Located in New York, NY
Bringing together 15 of Europe’s most exceptional artisans working across the design spectrum, Jadot has spearheaded the creation of an extraordinary mixed-media, multi-functional object in the form of an unique ping pong table, titled “Spin Love.” In addition to its recreational use, "Spin Love" can be divided with each table top elevated to serve as a double-sided room divider or screen, with a matching pair of standing floor lamps. One of the most ambitious works of decorative arts today, “Spin Love” connects the talents of the idiosyncratic, visionary artists that make up Zaventem Ateliers. Jadot is the mastermind behind Zaventem, an experimental artist workspace accommodating 32 separate workshops dedicated to the production and transformation of materials, allowing a group of exceptional craftsmen working in ceramics, leather, metal, marble, textiles, and wood to collaborate, experiment, and inspire one another. As a physical representation of the ingenuity and creative drive housed within the walls of Zaventem Ateliers, “Spin Love” asserts their commitment to old world craftsmanship, free thinking, and modern innovation.
In conceiving “Spin Love” Jadot aimed to create a work where visionary design and idiosyncratic craftsmanship meets the already collaborative energy, humor and playfulness he had amassed within Zaventem. Each individual element, from the mixed media table tops to the unique ping pong paddles, showcases the height of the artists’ specific expertise.
The double sided clover-shaped table top can be divided into two separate tables, each with the ability to be raised to stand upright, acting as a dual-faced screen allowing for four distinct visual options.One bifurcated table half features black and white geometrically patterned leather collages from Niyona, a French custom leather design company. Its corresponding half is composed of precious wood marquetry work by Alexandre Lowie with a steel star detail jewelry designer by Luna Lotta. The second table is composed of an integration of metalwork by Maison Jonckers and textiles from Studio Krjst enclosed within poured resin. On one side each artist’s work is tessellated into a tightly controlled pattern. Flipping the table over reveals an expressive and chaotic assemblage of patterns and textures.
