Fall/Winter by Valentin Loellmann


Two connected collections of burnt furniture by German artist Valentin Loellmann are currently on show at Galerie Gosserez in Paris, in an exhibition called Seasons.

Fall/Winter is a collection of stools, benches and tables made of branches of hazel connected to oak tops. Each piece is smoothed over with a mix of sawdust and glue, burnt, then finished with wax and oil.

Spring/Summer's furniture, which is being previewed at the gallery, follows on from Fall/Winter with an electrolysed metal coating applied to the legs to create a copper skin, and matte, waxed oak tops.
