Description

Anouchka POTDEVIN, born 1975 Cage(s), 2024 Indiscreet seat made up of three cage-shaped seats in powder-coated steel. Each in a different size, interlocked one after the other in a continuous movement, to form a black metal case lined with cushions in precious black and gold textiles that evoke feathers and golden reflections on the surface of water. Textiles by Lelièvre Paris and Pierre Frey, handmade. One-of-a-kind piece. Height 220 cm - Diam. large seat 78 cm - Diam. medium seat 72 cm - Diam. small seat 68 cm --- Anouchka POTDEVIN, born in 1975 Anouchka Potdevin combines ingenious recycling and metalwork. Based in the Côtes d'Armor region, on the banks of the Rance river, she immerses herself in nature, which springs to life in her favorite themes. During her apprenticeship as a metalworker, she worked metals to the exacting standards of a compagnonnique company working with Bâtiments de France, such as repairing parts of the Parlement de Bretagne. She now designs acclaimed furniture from scraps and other salvaged materials. For Ar Seiz Avel, she presents her indiscreet, developed in January 2024 and the fruit of research based on the confident seat, an S-shaped double armchair enabling two people to converse without having to turn their heads. It consists of a set of three Cage seats, an emblematic element of his work, of different sizes, nested one after the other in a continuous movement forming a black metal case and upholstered with precious textile cushions. The central island forms a triskel, adding the "indiscreet" to the "confident". No digital intervention was involved in this project, and the entire piece was created by hand. Last but not least, Anouchka Potdevin is working on Ki Dour, a future workplace for engravers, stone sculptors and metalworkers, based on the notion of transmission.
