Stool Cloverleaf by Marcel Gascoin in oak, 1950

About the Item

Oak cloverleaf stool by Marcel Gascoin, ARHEC 1950 Marcel Gascoin (1907-1986) played a major role in the emergence of French design after the Second World War. Although Marcel Gascoin's first professional experience was designing shop windows in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, he remained a man of accessible, pragmatic modernism. His first creations followed the development of the Salon des arts ménagers, which focused on modern, economical, high-quality, mass-produced furniture. At the 1938 show, he presented a range of storage units, already showing the beginnings of organic design. In the aftermath of the war, Marcel Gascoin found a second chance thanks to his friendly links with Raoul Dautry and Eugène Claudius-Petit - the ministers responsible for reconstruction - which enabled him to make his mark on the scene. In 1947, he coordinated the Exposition Internationale de l'Urbanisme et de l'Habitation: responsible for a number of stands (kitchen, lighting, AFNOR, etc.), he designed a show flat for the reconstruction of Sotteville-lès-Rouen. Marcel Gascoin is also a member of the UAM. UAM members who took part in the construction of the Cité Universitaire d'Antony include Eugène Beaudouin and Jean Prouvé as ‘engineer-builders’, and Marcel Gascoin and Charlotte Perriand as ‘decorator-architects’. They all worked on the development of the residence, driven by a common desire: to renew housing and offer a new living environment suited to the needs of today's people. es of architects, town planners and interior designers

Matthias Biberon Bench in Oak
By Matthias Biberon
Located in Santa Gertrudis, Baleares
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...
