The UCHH console table in carton-pierre is the result of a wonderful collaboration between the creative talent of Charles Tassin, interior designer and founder, with Maylis Tassin, of GALERIE MAY on Rue de Lille in Paris, and the expertise of the artist Louis-Marie Vincent.
Charles Tassin was inspired by the works of the Florentine Renaissance painter Paolo Uccello, and more specifically by his masterpiece “The Battle of San Romano,” painted between 1456 and 1460, depicting the battle between Florence and Siena in 1432, where the graphic power blends horses with armor and lances.
This console table is both imposing and animalistic, medieval and futuristic, massive and light. Light, just like its material, carton-pierre, which is an eco-friendly material made from paper and textile waste. This technique, used since the 18th century in the decorations of the Palace of Versailles, made it possible to create decorative elements such as moldings and sculptures from textile fibers, paper, and/or cardboard mixed with mineral powders and natural glues.
The UCHH console table is currently on display at 23-34 rue de Lille, Paris 7th arrondissement.
