Vincent Decat

Heron Chair

Inspired by the Athena Sanctuary in Delphi, The Heron Chair embodies the enduring legacy of Greece’s architectural heritage. The design draws directly from the fragmented ruins of the classical monument, a symbol of strength in Delphi for over a millennium. The piece mirrors the sanctuary’s partial and worn state, unfinished beauty, and structural elegance. The chair was made in collaboration with a French metalworker and leather craftsman. It is constructed from welded stainless steel sheets and features handmade leather cushions.

    Vincent Decat

    Born in Paris in 1997, Vincent Decat is an artist and designer based in his native city. He first trained in industrial design in Brussels, then graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2023, after an internship at EWE Studio in Mexico City. His work has been shown at Dutch Design Week, Paris Design Week and Cluster Crafts in London.

    His collectible pieces bring sculptural thinking into everyday use. Their forms suggest life and movement, and seem to breathe, shift, or stir, as in the Came Uninvited series. These animal-like qualities turn functional objects into personal, engaging presences. For Decat, how long an object lasts depends less on its materials than on the bond it creates. “My pieces are intended to be companions more than possessions,” he explains, hoping people will grow attached to them the way they would to a cherished animal.

    By making objects that feel almost alive, he encourages a relationship of care rather than consumption: pieces to keep, protect, and cherish over time.
