ÉDITIONS SINGULIÈRES — COLLECTOR WORKS
The piece is conceived as a study of vertical mass interrupted by void — a structural arch compressed into domestic scale, sitting between sculpture, plinth, and seated object. The formal idea is that of a single carved gesture in which weight is at once gathered at the floor and released upward into a leaning crown. The body is carved from a single block of natural blue stone and rises from two grounded legs into one continuous upper mass. Measuring 35 centimetres in width, 42 centimetres in depth, and 55 centimetres in height, the arch opening at the base measures approximately 14 to 16 centimetres in internal clearance. The upper volume tilts subtly forward, creating a silhouette that reads as compression at the base and expansion at the top. Available in Azul Macaubas for expressive mineral movement or Blue Limestone for a softer architectural character, each piece is carved entirely from a single block and finished by hand to a honed matte surface. Natural veining, tonal shifts, and mineral inclusions remain visible throughout the form, allowing the material to retain its authenticity and geological presence. Light travels softly across the curved planes and gathers beneath the arch where shadow defines the internal void. The defining gesture is the lean itself. Rather than standing as a symmetrical arch, the upper mass advances forward from the base, creating a quiet sense of movement within an otherwise static volume. The two legs establish a centred support while the crown shifts subtly beyond it, producing a tension between balance and gravity that gives the piece its presence. Viewed from different angles, the object shifts between architectural fragment, primitive shelter, and sculptural monolith. The compact footprint and vertical posture allow it to function simultaneously as a carved object and a spatial marker, occupying a room with the calm authority of architecture reduced to intimate scale. Suited to private residences, collectors’ interiors, and gallery settings where a singular sculptural element is asked to anchor a corner, define a threshold, or occupy a low pedestal — equally functional as sculptural stool, accent object, plinth, and standalone collectible.
