Just like furniture, we are faced with objects of unusual power. They thus inhabit the surface of tables and almost become extensions of them, made of the same mass.

François Bauchet: À table ! Behind this command lies an invitation. Not an order, then, but an invitation to share a moment together. Everything takes place around tables and on tables. François Bauchet À table ! is an exhibition of tables and objects. The table is perhaps the object that François Bauchet has studied most closely. Coffee tables, dining tables, desks, side tables, telephone tables, workbenches – what else?

Although François Bauchet has designed a few sets of crockery and cutlery (Ercuis, Haviland, Guy Degrenne), we have chosen to exhibit objects whose characteristics bring them closer to furniture in the sense of furnishings. Indeed, what characterises our selection is this effect of mass that we particularly appreciate in his work. Furnishing the surface of a table is not common.
