True to his duty of memory and to the heft fascination of its times and his contemporaries, Maison VOLEVATCH takes up the challenge of editing –within the rules of art– a typically Art Déco collection of plumbing fixtures, using a stylized geometrical repertory with planeparallel volumes made up by straight and sharp angles, within an exigent unity of style.
Sublime and respectful of a universal artistic movement –praised in Paris in 1925 during the international exhibition of Decorative Arts–, this new collection is a true homage to the symbol of the power and orthonormal geometry of Art Déco style, which remains nowadays the sacred archetype of balanced proportions and massive prints of a certain virility in which the skyline of New York stands as the most enlightening example.
Inspired supporter of a typically French know-how, Serge Volevatch is not willing to stop now to the sole design of exceptional plumbing fixtures, but to go further into the poetry of a place entirely devoted to bathtime (art du bain) of the 30s. Thus, massive Carrara marble basins, a generous enameled bathtub, streaked luminaries and stylized mirrors complete elegantly this monographic set, where the skillful layout renders a glowing homage to a fruitful period imbued with timelessness.
