IRENE KHIET
Irène Khiêt, a French designer of Vietnamese origin, conceives her pieces as finds unearthed from a familiar future: singular yet recognizable silhouettes, carrying a floating and enduring memory.
She favors a simple grammar — clear lines, assertive volumes, raw materials — to gently shift ordinary archetypes toward their own identity.
Her work evolves in a fold where tensions, proportions, volumes, and details are finely tuned: a terrain of subtle adjustments rather than postures.
Her research focuses on the point of balance between rigor and sensitivity, where each reveals the other and where dissonances — intersecting geometries, contrasts of material, color, void and mass — enter into a tense dialogue.
At the heart of her practice lies the idea of shaping sculptural force as a primary material, in pursuit of the right form — one that emerges at the edge between audacity and discretion, rigor and softness, the ordinary and what begins to turn singular — a vigorous design that quietly stands the test of time.
