One Thing Led to Another

One Thing Led To Another is a handcrafted sculpture born from an exploration of the coexistence between inert matter and organic forms. Its structure evokes a frozen mineral landscape, a rocky surface with irregular contours and neutral tones, upon which orange spores gradually spread and colonize their support. The whole forms a hybrid object where the living and the inorganic do not oppose but coexist, creating a delicate balance that recalls natural processes of regeneration.
The warm-colored outcrops contrast with the coolness of the grey base, suggesting a presence that slowly expands, settles in, and transforms its environment.

Inspired by the universe of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, this piece evokes the resilient ecosystems that emerge in seemingly hostile environments. It questions our relationship with nature and its ability to reclaim spaces, even the most barren ones, without dramatizing this process, but rather observing it as an ongoing reality. 

The shape of the chair, intentionally unstable and sculptural, invites us to reconsider the functional object as a narrative support. It exists as much as a seat as it does as a sculpture, carrying within it a story of transformation and persistence. This chair is made of a wooden and metal structure reinforced with resin. The finish was handcrafted with acrylic paint and coated with a protective varnish.

    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.
