Pierre-Emmanuel Vandeputte

Legs is a collection of unique furniture for the contemporary home; asymmetrical powder coated steel structures. They’ve made their way into a new space: a room that is familiar to you, but causes them to hesitate. Their legs freeze on paths to destinations unknown. They are stilled in time. What has brought them to your home? As you approach, you begin to notice that their limbs extend to corners of the room that you left unfurnished and were quick to forget. What are they showing you? Your legs mingle with theirs to walk a path of mutual discovery. Their bodies of cold steel contrast with curved articulations and flat uninterrupted surfaces. Each creature presents a different scale of proportions. Some are more easily suited to the indulgent pace of a lazy weekend morning; others to a brief gesture of acknowledgement as you run out the door, and others still to support simple evenings of deserved recovery. Regardless of their nature, you are grateful for the strangeness of these Legs: suspended in fantasy and now rooted in the floor of your own home.
