Description
Michel Haillard (born 1959) Zoubina Armchair Indian rice paddy buffalo, ram, printed murmel, bronzes H110 W50 D70 There is something in Michel Haillard’s work that evokes a cabinet of curiosities, a shaman and a master cabinetmaker all at once. Trained at the École Supérieure des Arts Modernes, he began his career as an advertising model-maker before turning to animation, where he worked as director, graphic designer and co-scriptwriter on the series *Sharky and Georges*, and then on to sculpture and furniture design, in a style sometimes described as neo-tribal. In his studio, he is Belleville’s flamboyant alchemist: he amasses the most diverse materials (bronze, hides, horns, wood, stones, bones, horsehair, second-hand finds) and repurposes them to create a piece of furniture, a set of jewellery or an object that tends to become a unique sculpture. He has been collecting these materials for years as he explores, combining the undeniable natural quality of his materials with the refinement of bronze, amber or crystal. Admired by Philippe Starck, his works adorn the world’s most discerning interiors and are regularly featured at international auction houses.
