“DEER” by Augustin Scott de Martinville, (FR)

French by origin, Augustin Scott de Martinville lives in Lausanne, Switzerland where he studied at the famous local design school, Ecal. His aim is to edit each new year a series of objects that are linked to a self-imposed theme. The first year’s theme is the reinterpretation of the codes of bourgeois furniture. The Moose & Deer Head are part of this series: a modernised, somehow abstract version of the trophy head, executed in triplicate. “We wanted something light to stress the heavy drama that is usually associated with this object – the killing of the animal and the stuffing of the head.”
