THE WAVE CONSOLE BY JEAN-YVES LANVIN TAKES ITS NAME FROM A SINGLE CONTINUOUS GESTURE, A LONG UNDULATING LINE THAT READS AS THOUGH SHAPED BY WATER AND BY TIME. RATHER THAN A FIXED SILHOUETTE, THE FORM BEHAVES LIKE A SLOW MOTION HELD IN MATTER, ITS SURFACE TRACING THE MEMORY OF A CURRENT RATHER THAN THE LOGIC OF A STRUCTURE

ACROSS ITS LENGTH, THE MASS OPENS INTO A SEQUENCE OF FREELY DRAWN VOIDS, EACH ONE A HOLLOW CARVED WITH THE SAME FLUID HAND AS THE CURVE THAT CONTAINS IT. THESE OPENINGS ARE NOT DECORATIVE PUNCTUATION, THEY ARE THE ARCHITECTURE OF BREATH WITHIN THE PIECE, SPACES THAT LET THE EYE MOVE THROUGH THE WORK AS WATER MOVES THROUGH STONE

HANDCRAFTED IN FRANCE, THE WAVE CONSOLE EXISTS AT THE MEETING POINT OF GRANDEUR AND LIGHTNESS, ITS RESIN COVERED PLASTER SURFACE RETURNING A PALE, CONTINUOUS LUMINOSITY THAT READS AS CALM RATHER THAN STATIC. THE SILHOUETTE SETTLES INTO SOMETHING CLOSER TO A SUSPENDED WAVE THAN AN OBJECT, AN ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE REDUCED TO A SINGLE, SILENT LINE

Jean-Yves Lanvin

Born Paris, France, 1965

A French artist based in Milan, Lanvin creates limited-edition sculptural furniture with rare and exquisite minerals, jewelry-like finishes, and striking profiles. His visionary works sit at the intersection between art and design, characterized by a sculptural approach emphasizing asymmetrical and strong lines. His creations celebrate the rich history of European craftsmanship and contemporary innovation with fine metals, noble stones, and rare minerals

Sculptural yet functional, elegant yet robust, experimental yet rooted in history, his works explore the design tension between balance and imbalance, both in the construction and appearance of the work. He is drawn to the sense of anticipation engendered by irregularity, and the challenge of creating a work that is both elegant and wild, rough and sleek

Heir to the Lanvin family, he spent his childhood in a rarified world of with elegance, creativity and artistry. After working in finance for Lazard Frères in New York and Salomon Brothers in London, he embraced his passion for art and design, representing fine French design houses, through which he gained a deep knowledge of foundries, the casting process, and fine metalwork. Lanvin works closely with heritage artisans at his atelier in Tuscany to produce each of his unique works
