Ibride Shelf Gold/Metal Plastic material. Dimensions: L 103 x Depth 57 cm x
H 133 cm. The iconic pieces in the Mobilier de Compagnie collection brings a
burst of gold, bringing you the numbered limited edition Gold capsule
collection. Via this chamois-shaped wall shelving unit, Ibride gives the image
of a fortuitous encounter: the fauna surprised by man. Wall-mounted and nimble,
this shelf created by Benoît Convers translates the unexpected sudden entrance
of nature in incongruous places. Off the beaten track, the silence is suddenly
interrupted: branches break, the foliage rustles, perhaps even some stones
move… You stop. For a moment, nothing moves. All of a sudden, immobile wooden
appears, shaped into the mouth of a chamois, attentive to the slightest
movement. It examines, body perched on a mountain top, before taking off. This
acrobatic furniture celebrates the agility of the chamois and, overlooking the
space, affords nature its true majesty. The designer, Benoît Convers, explains:
„The animal on a vertiginous wall over 2000 metres high reminds us that
nature dominates us and will always do so. In form, and through the movement it
suggests, this wall-mounted shelf becomes a sculpture.“ Created in 2004, the
Mobilier de Compagnie collection offers you the chance to bring a unique
animalistic touch into your space. This furniture is the fruit of a marriage
between technical prowess and design. Servile one minute and ferocious the next,
this tribe of unique design furniture pieces boast a style that will give anyone
pause for thought, domesticating animal shapes to give them an utterly human and
functional utility. Elegant yet robust, the bear bookcases, the ostrich console
tables, and even the donkey desks find their place just as easily indoors as
they do outdoors. Made in France, the Horace wall-mounted shelf is made from
compact laminate, which is a heat- and water-resistant material.
