About the artist
MAXIME HALOT
Maxime Halot is a Brussels-based furniture designer whose work stands at the intersection of art and craftsmanship. His research delves into the intricate possibilities of metal processing, where he pushes the boundaries of shaping, surface treatment, and material manipulation. Through innovative bending and assembly techniques, Halot infuses his creations with light, flowing curves that invite multiple interpretations, offering both visual and tactile intrigue.
Drawing from his deep understanding of architectural forms, Halot’s sculptural furniture is brought to life through the use of custom-designed tools, resulting in works that challenge the viewer's perception of balance. His designs are a constant dialogue between contrasts—lightness and heaviness, fullness and emptiness—creating pieces that feel both monumental and ethereal.
In his latest explorations, Maxime Halot experiments with the oxidation of steel, elevating a commonplace material to new artistic heights. By embracing the inherent instability of oxidation techniques, he allows the material to take on a life of its own, unveiling unexpected colors, textures, and organic patterns. These unpredictable results lend his creations a raw, natural beauty, blurring the lines between the man-made and the organic, and further solidifying his unique voice in contemporary design.
