HILIAS
The resolutely monolithic and sculptural appearance of the HILIAS table collection is as much the result of the inspirations that guided its development as it is of its manufacturing process.
The inspiration for the HILIAS collection, as for many of Garnier & Linker's designs, is twofold: on the one hand, sculpture, from which they draw their monolithic appearance and the way the material is worked, whether by Rodin or Hans Josephsohn. The surface texture, achieved only by casting hand-crafted models, is of major importance in these pieces. Another source of inspiration is decorative arts, particularly the collaborative work of Jean-Michel Frank and the Giacometti brothers, which resulted in magnificent pieces in plaster and bronze.
The process is also one of the reasons why Garnier & Linker are interested in these materials. In both cases, the first step is to create a model that will give both the final shape of the desired piece and its texture.
This gives them the opportunity to immerse themselves in the material to create all of these master models in their workshop, before entrusting them to the foundry workers and plasterers who will produce their bronze and plaster duplicates, respectively.
The idea is to constantly push the boundaries of creative freedom and production independence.
Bronze and plaster play a central role in Garnier & Linker's work, both as a link to other materials such as alabaster, which they use for setting, and as a unique, raw, monolithic material.
Historically, the two materials have often been used in parallel in sculpture: bronze for the most noble pieces, and plaster for less important pieces or replicas. Instead of retaining this hierarchy, Garnier & Linker are more interested in the difference in sensitivity between these materials: while bronze has a strong presence in space, the more discreet presence of plaster is just as interesting.
Whether made of bronze or plaster, the pieces in the HILIAS collection blend into spaces with a presence that is both classic and contemporary. The minimalist forms allow the material to express itself, and the surface texture and nature of the material delicately catch the light.
