le cabinet botaniste
collaboration aurèce vettier x Gilles & Boissier
curated by Jean-Christophe Camuset, 2022
At first glance, this antechamber seems to play with quite classical codes. It is a passageway to another space in the house. However, a disconcerting modernity emanates, expressed through the play of materials and the insertion of contemporary panels.
The décor is a Crystal White marble paneling intercepted by backlit opaline glass panels.
The floor is made of black Nero Marquina marble with a satin finish and white Crystal White marble with a hammered finish. The coffered ceiling is made of black defibered oak. In the middle is the "Cabinet Botaniste", a virtual and real cabinet with a secret.

Gilles and Boissier threw themselves into the unknown of metavers with aurèce vettier. This universe is not so far from their daily life because the creation of each space is part of the invention of a virtual space. The virtual creation is the obligatory passage of each of their projects. Each set is imagined, composed, retouched and furnished virtually. It is then manufactured and inhabited. Each piece of furniture is also designed and invented for its setting. These four virtual and real works explain the exciting interaction between these two worlds.

The botanist's cabinet is in dialogue with its decor. The decor is mysterious and the cabinet also hides its secret. It is housed in a room that has been specially designed to accommodate it, an antechamber. It is the mysterious room of the house and leads to another unknown space.
Is it a living room, a bedroom, another antechamber?

The decor is mysterious and the cabinet also hides its secret. It is enthroned in a room created especially for it, an antechamber The cabinet looks frail on its branch legs, made of black patinated bronze, a perfect combination of nature and artificial intelligence. This bronze multi-legged piece carries a mysterious cedar box which also hides its secret.
