La Voie d'or (side table)
About the Item
In China, bamboo has always been the artists, poets and philosophers’ favourite subject. In recent years, it has become one of the motifs of Xiao Fan Ru's paintings and sculptures. It shows its simplicity and the elegance of its lines, its resistance, its capacity to bend without breaking, to soar, straight, towards the light, to surround, to protect, by the strength of its eternal return. It also evokes its more hidden, metaphysical, spiritual meaning, according to the Confucian tradition of the search for the middle ground. The idea is to be inspired by the momentum of the bamboo and to progress in an infinite spiral movement, in harmony with nature and the world. According to these principles, the shape of the circle, open, represents a way (the tao) where the emptiness is offered to the inner resonance, to the circulation of the breath. The cicadas, whose moult is another metaphor in ancient Chinese culture, rest on the bamboo trees, symbolizing life, death and rebirth.
This middle ground is golden in our troubled times, and so it is on this philosophical foundation that Xiao Fan Ru has named this series of sculptures, in which our coffee table and our sofa end are part of: La Voie d’or. In the words of the artist: « La Voie d’or is a bronze table combining the fragile and the resistant, grace and gravity. It is an invitation to shed the weight of the world through the regulation of ordinary use, the rightness".

- Et si jamais le ciel est un lieu-dit, je le revois près du front (side table)Located in PARIS, FRSara Favriau does sculptures, installations, and performances that result in videos. Films that are declined around sculptures which are then activated by performances. A work that renews itself, and thereby questions its status as a sanctuary (exhibition, acquisition), towards a possible status of living (evolving, transformed, altered work, …). Her approach questions both the work and its eco-system; its circularity. She establishes a poetic link with nature and the cycle of life, often using natural materials. Et si jamais le ciel est un lieu-dit, je le revois près du front is a poetic title, as for all of her pieces, given to her shelves, vases and a side table created for ColAAb in order to link design, art and life, to « enlarge the sculpture’s field » towards this renewal. Thus, she says to have imagined hybrid objects, at the same time sculptures and furniture, objects and containers, harvested wood and the plant that grows on it. Side table The side table is made up of a thick plane tree board resting on a central foot, a squared and carved padouk wood log. The two wooden structures, carved, sealed with bee wax, receiving a round earthen container (empty pouch or pot for flowers...Category
