SA STOOL BY MATTHIEU RECOPE DE TILLY

The SA Collection by Matthieu Recope de Tilly unfolds at the crossroads of cultural memory and contemporary material inquiry, where the work of metal becomes not merely a structural proposition but an act of sculptural authorship. Each piece asserts a presence that transcends function—an object conceived for contemplation as much as for use, where the boundary between furniture and artifact dissolves entirely

At the heart of the collection lies a fundamental rethinking of ornament: stripped of its decorative pretense, it becomes structure, rhythm, and breath. The wave—at once ancient motif and elemental force—is recast as a load-bearing gesture, bending and yielding under the weight of alabastrino travertine while retaining an extraordinary capacity for resistance. From this confrontation between suppleness and density, between the fluidity of drawn steel and the geological stillness of stone, emerges a tension that is as much poetic as it is physical

Born from a sensitive dialogue between drawing and material, the SA Collection inhabits a fertile space between the organic and the constructed. The metal bends as though responding to some internal logic—free yet constrained, spontaneous yet precise—evoking a mythological dimension, as if the works themselves were suspended between momentum and gravity, narrating a fragile and eternal balance. Handcrafted in France by Ateliers Saint-Jacques Foundation and Atelier de Missolz, each work is in strictly limited edition
