Duramen Handmade Wooden Sculptures

The French art and design duo Rémy Clémente and Morgan Maccari of Bonsoir Paris have created this series of handmade wooden sculptures entitled Duramen.

“Born of a simple impulse, the one to break with conventional ways of exhibiting, Bonsoir Paris and its team have imagined a series of frames so strongly mistreated that they have become unrecognisable. Their wish is to break the properties of the compound, a form of compromise as minimal and it is efficient. They found a subtle twist while remaining faithful to a primitive form of revolt, without getting lost in vain styles effects.”

Noble materials such as Oak, Fir, Wenge, Pear and Linden are used to present an idea of being in between two opposites, that of the deformed and that of the elegant, instinctive and thoughtful.
