The Design
About Mt 12 커피 테이블
우리의 연결된 세상은 빠르고 효율적인 삶을 요구합니다. 그렇기에 오늘날의 진정한 사치는 속도를 늦추고, 시간을 가지며, 정성스럽게 만들어지고 환경을 존중하는 아름다운 것들에 둘러싸여 있을 수 있는 능력입니다. 상판 위에 산의 조각이 있는 이 커피 테이블은 끝없는 지평선의 시적 정취를 불러일으키고 감상자를 사색적인 상태로 이끕니다. 이 프로젝트는 디자인, 예술, 그리고 장인정신 사이의 간극을 메우며 심미성과 실용성을 결합합니다. 이 테이블에는 지속 가능하게 관리되는 숲의 목재가 사용되었으며 상판은 전체가 수작업으로 조각되었습니다.

Today's connected world requires to live fast and efficiently. The real luxury today is the ability to slow down, take time and be surrounded with beautiful things made with care and respectful of the environment.

- Production Technology
- The table top is entirely made by hand in my workshop. As I carve the mountain part by hand, each table is therefore unique. I use carving tools such as carving discs, rasps, gouges, etc.
The leg is made by a metalworker.
Three coats of oil-based finish are applied on the top. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge on this project was ultimately to accept the idea of conceding a part of practicality for a more contemplative and poetic part. I like to say that on this table, there is a place to put your cup and a place to look at.
This table bridges the gap between art, craft and design. - Research
- There is a real challenge in carving large pieces of wood and believing that the table is made from a single piece of wood.
Illusion must be mastered in order to forget technique in favor of poetry.
Wood is a living material and all the woodworker skills are required to build a durable and sustainable product. - Inspiration
- Traditionally, the cabinetmaker covered a piece of furniture made by a carpenter with marquetry of noble and rare materials to give it value. Today, with globalization, these materials are losing their preciousness and uniqueness. The question was : "What value can I add to furniture today?" The answer came from looking at a beautiful landscape and figuring out how to bring it home. I began with wall sculptures of mountains and then desire to see it as central element on furniture.
- Project Duration
- The first carved landscape I carved was in 2015 when I came back to France after 5 years in Canada. The first Mountain table appears in 2017 with a small relief part and then the mountain ranges never stopped growing and they now take a central part on this deisgn.
- Operation Flow
- The goal is to have the impression that the mountain is litterally coming out of the table. The experience is not only visual, in fact, wood is a tactile material and the carved part is not fragile and can be touched without problem.
