LA VITESSE
La Vitesse is the largest and most complex furniture piece I have designed and fabricated. The requirements for the piece were to fit up against a wall in a narrow walk way. This criteria really drove the overall proportions, becoming almost 11 feet long and 16" deep. The second requirement was form factor, the client, an avid fan of modern art and unique pieces wanted a statement, something to show in their living room. What became apparent was a need for balance, not wanting to overwhelm the space while also standing strong and proud. These two mass plywood forms equally balance as a steel structure cuts through them. Their curves flawlessly peel back from the structure becoming soft to the eye while effortlessly floating above the floor.
