Les Objets Ivres is a collection of ceramic, wood, and textile pieces exploring imbalance as a poetic and critical force. By embracing inebriation as a creative method, it challenges rational design and celebrates instability, distortion, and emotional expression.

A collection of objects that reflect on inebriation as a creative force in design.

Les Objets Ivres is a collection of sculptural pieces — a bench, a carpet, and vases — that explore the notion of imbalance as a poetic and critical gesture in design. The project questions the dominance of rational thinking in creative processes and reintroduces emotion, accident, and distortion as essential components of meaning. By choosing inebriation as a creative lens, the work deliberately moves away from control and precision to embrace instability, fragility, and deformation.

Through the combination of wood sculpture, ceramic 3D printing, and tufting, each piece becomes the trace of a dialogue between mastery and letting go. The materials, pushed to their limits, reveal a language of imperfection and vulnerability. The forms seem to sway, as if intoxicated, evoking the fluid border between consciousness and chaos.

Ultimately, Les Objets Ivres acts as a manifesto for a liberated design practice — one that values uncertainty as an aesthetic and philosophical position. It celebrates a sensitive, emotional relationship to matter, where imbalance becomes not a flaw but a space of discovery and renewal.
