"There's something unsettling and deeply fascinating about furniture that looks back at you. Not literally, of course, but in that way certain objects seem to have presence, personality, almost a pulse. That's exactly the vibe French designer Vincent Decat is going for with his Living Series, a collection of sculptural furniture pieces that feel less like static household items and more like strange, beautiful companions sharing your space."
"Decat, who studied at the prestigious Design Academy of Eindhoven, has built his practice around a provocative idea: what if our furniture behaved like living beings? What if instead of just using objects, we formed relationships with them, caring for them the way we might care for a pet or a plant? It's a concept that might sound precious or overly conceptual, but when you see the pieces themselves, something clicks."
Vincent Decat's Living Series imagines furniture as animate, presence-filled companions that invite caregiving and relationship. The series probes biological growth and organic development through three sculptural pieces. One Thing Led To Another is a handcrafted chair with irregular contours and vivid orange elements evoking coral or moss; it combines wood, steel, resin, acrylic paint, and varnish, standing 80 cm tall and measuring 70 by 60 cm. Came Uninvited is a side table that appears to have wandered in from another dimension and evokes a transformed organism that references human impact on natural systems. The pieces prioritize materiality and evolution-like formation.
