A graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Marseille and inspired by the work of designers Charles and Ray Eames, Arnaud Demory set up his own locksmith's workshop in 1997. A metalworker by trade, he has worked for architectural firms, without ceasing his research into the material around the chair. Until he finds the shape he wants, which he adapts and dresses according to his desires, passions and influences. The everyday object becomes a sculpture through which he tells stories, sketches portraits and portrays emotions.

In Charleval, the artist embarks on a new narrative with his monumental chairs. L'Equilibriste opens the doors of the château, while Acrobates and Funambule perform their act a little further on in the gardens. The grandiose setting called for a change of scale. Meeting Daniel Rocher in Charleval was the catalyst. "It's the start of something new in terms of sculpture," confides the artist, motivated by the energy of his host.
