Furniture and object design :

Dominique PIERRAT designs functional art objects with contemporary shapes. They are built according to the spirit and techniques of traditional French cabinet making. They are good quality, beautifully finished objects. Raw or salvaged materials are sometimes combined with them. The creative process is the opposite of the one used by the designer: the objects are ‘works of art’ produced as unique pieces (with the exception of a few copies).

Artistic process :

Similarly to the matter which is made of waves and particles, the object is made of both precious and everyday materials; it is both delicate and raw, spirit and matter, light- and dark-coloured, masculine and feminine, yin and yang. Contrary to being Manichean, the work of art reconciles two worlds which might look paradoxical at first sight. It is as complex as a human being.

Ecological process :

When making the objects, we make sure that we almost always use environmentally-friendly materials and products; wood, animal glues, varnishes, resins, non-synthetic waxes and oils.
