Silver SENTIMENTI (1970) - ITALY/ act. France - 3 Astrolables - Mixed media - L 15 x W 18 x H25 cm - Unique Piece - 2022. Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Silver Sentimenti is a ceramist and ennobler. He has grown up in his family’s sewing workshop, surrounded by fabrics and patterns. Fascinated by this environment, he decided at an early age to become a craftsman. In 1984, he enrolled at the Istituto Gaetano Ballardini in Faenza, studying ceramic sculpture, and went on to study set design at the Bologna School of Fine Arts. In 1997, an opportunity in costume design in haute couture took him to Paris and led him to dedicate part of his career to this sector. But in 2007, Silver Sentimenti decided to refocus his work on ceramics, gestures and time. So, he set up his ceramics workshop in Normandy, where he has been making one-off pieces and limited editions for private customers in France and abroad. Research and innovation Silver Sentimenti’s work is inspired by his professional experiences as a model-maker, couturier, and costume designer. When he creates, he combines the arts of fire, couture, and sculpture. He works with stoneware from Burgundy or Noron, and porcelain from Bavaria and Limoges. For each of his creations, he forms his piece in raw clay, which he then perforates with holes. After firing, he embroiders them with leather straps and metal elements. Silver Sentiment takes great care to ensure the origin and quality of its leathers, sourcing them from a leathershop in Brittany, where they are vegetable-tanned in France. Transmission Silver Sentimenti is keen to pass on his expertise. Over his career, he has taught his skills in DMA high schools and at the IFM, as well as running ceramics workshops and turning courses. Today, he continues to teach in the textile DNMADE program and welcomes trainees to his workshop every year. Fondation Rémy Cointreau and the gallery des Ateliers d’Art de France has supported Silver Sentimenti in the acquisition of a ceramic.

Lukas COBER (1989) - BELGIUM - Low Table - Ebony Wood and Leather – L150 x W 50 x H40 cm - Unique Piece - 2020. Gallery certificate will be given to the buyer. Shipping to Paris 300 eur. Lukas Cober studied product design at the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design as well as the Faculdade de Belas Artes Lisboa. During his studies and the years that followed, he put his talent, technique, and energy at the service of Valentin Loellmann, a renowned designer based in the Netherlands. In 2018 he started focusing solely on his own work, creating unique pieces and collections in his eponymous studio. In 2021, through the Gosserez Gallery, The Mobilier National acquired his coffee table "New Wave" and is now part of the French government's Mobilier National collections. Lukas Cober emphasizes the value and beauty of the chosen raw material to create minimalistic objects that remain timelessly beautiful. His priority clearly focuses rather on a feeling that the material and the shape might arouse then the function of the object itself. It might be a chair, a bag or a lamp. Not the function matters but the mutual integrity. Thinking about each product as a static sculpture he creates a conversation between materiality and shape with a pure outcome.
