ÉDITIONS SINGULIÈRES — Collector Works
The piece is conceived as a compact vault — a single balanced monolithic arch carved into domestic scale and set as a quiet centre on the floor. The formal idea is a dialogue between mass and void, where the force meets the ground, holds where the architecture rises into a single drawn arch. The body is carved from solid natural blue stone and reads as a continuous volume interrupted by a centred opening. Measuring 50 centimetres in width, 44 centimetres in depth, and 40 centimetres in height, the external arch clearance is 18 to 20 centimetres from floor to apex. The proportions are deliberately compact and centred — the dome is fuller than .0034B, the mass distributed more evenly around the opening than either its larger or smaller counterparts. Carved from Azul Macaubas for expressive mineral movement or Blue Limestone for a softer architectural register, each piece is cut from a single block and hand-finished to a honed matte surface. The stone retains its natural tonal variation, subtle veining, and mineral character, allowing the material itself to become part of the composition. Light moves softly across the curved planes, gathering beneath the arch where shadow defines the interior volume. The defining gesture is the centred vault itself. Rather than reading as a fold or compression, the form behaves as a small architectural span — a continuous stone canopy lifted from the floor by a single opening. The void is not decorative but structural to the perception of the object, creating a measured tension between support and weight. Viewed from different angles, the object shifts between architectural fragment, primitive shelter, and sculptural monolith. The rounded dome presents a calm and balanced silhouette, while the arch introduces depth and rhythm through the body of the stone. Suited to private residences, collectors’ interiors, gallery settings, and architectural environments where a compact sculptural mass is asked to sit at the centre of a room or against a long wall — equally functional as sculptural stool, low pedestal, and collectible gallery object.
