Description
Fabrice Ausset Black Silvering Bench Seat and backrest in blue, polished, puffed stainless steel Legs and base in birch plywood Date of creation: 2012 H64.4 W226 D54.1 cm In the Silvering series, Fabrice Ausset gives stainless steel the appearance of a puffed-up cushion, subverting expectations associated with metal. The Black Silvering version takes this concept a step further: the steel, polished and tinted blue, takes on deep, shifting, almost nocturnal reflections that vary with the light. The birch plywood of the base, a material synonymous with Scandinavian modernism, provides a warm, graphic counterpoint. At over two metres long, the bench reads as much as a sculpture as it does a seat, at the heart of contemporary collection design.
