Tambour Cabinet by Frédérique Domergue - One-of-a-kind, Contemporary

About the Item

Frédérique Domergue has poured all her craftsmanship into the creation of this one-of-a-kind piece, which was first presented at the prestigious Révélations show in Paris in 2019. The cylindrical, multi-purpose cabinet (It can be used as a bar or for bedroom storage) combines the artist's three favorite techniques: wood sculpting, metal inlays in wood and metal cladding. The chest is made of plane wood with a white mesh (featuring a glossy varnish) and is decorated with polished brass inlays on the front. The drawer panels are made of weathered brass. The cabinet's border and drawer pulls are carved and clad in metal. Dimensions : L 100 cm x H 145 cm x D 65 cm // L 39.37 in x H 57.08 in x D 25.59 in. One of a kind. Available now. Over nearly 20 years, French artist Frédérique Domergue has created a unique body of work based on combinations of metal and rare wood species. She learned traditional woodworking and metalworking techniques from master artisans, and quickly developed her own skillful approaches, especially metal cladding which has become her hallmark. Frédérique Domergue uses thin sheets of metal that hug the contours of the wood (which she sometimes sculpts beforehand) to create a "second skin". The artist creates astonishing effects by transforming metal into a material that appears supple and elastic. She draws on her extensive expertise with a wide range of metals (bronze, zinc, titanium, steel, etc.) to achieve surprising results. She sometimes uses oxidation techniques that lend sheets of zinc or bronze warm, sensual hues that shift with the light. Her entirely hand-made pieces take on a patina over time as the unexpected alchemy of the materials reveals an array of subtle, distinguished tones. The passion that drives her, the curiosity that propels her toward new worlds and the care she brings to finishing her pieces have enabled Frédérique Domergue to produce a singular oeuvre that allies excellence, innovation, esthetics and audacity.
