LA MATIÈRE AVANT LE NOM⁠
⁠
September 10 to December 24, 2026⁠
⁠
A circular form appears to hold matter in motion, while a solitary chair rises from the floor like an unfinished figure.⁠
⁠
Placed in dialogue, the two works resist immediate recognition. One hovers between image, surface and landscape; the other between furniture, sculpture and living presence.⁠
⁠
In this final encounter, function and representation recede. What remains is matter before certainty, still open to another name.⁠

⁠
September 10 to December 24, 2026⁠
⁠
In Kar’s Formless collection furniture retains its function while remaining at the threshold of sculpture.⁠
⁠
Irregular surfaces and supple volumes evoke rock, clay or a substance slowly transformed by time. The gestures that shaped the material still seem present.⁠
⁠
The table never closes entirely around its use. It remains open, as though it could still become something else.⁠

LA MATIÈRE AVANT LE NOM⁠
⁠
September 10 to December 24, 2026⁠
⁠
Matter shifts, light transforms the reliefs, and forms appear suspended between emergence and disappearance.⁠
⁠
At the heart of the exhibition, Kar’s Formless collection, presented by Galerie Philia, explores the space between furniture and sculpture. Tables and seats retain their function while resisting conventional definitions, their irregular surfaces and fluid volumes evoking rock, clay and matter shaped slowly by time.⁠
⁠
Kar’s work brings a distinctly tactile presence to the interior. Each piece appears to have emerged from a process of transformation, preserving the trace of the gestures, pressure and movement that formed it. Rather than imposing a fixed identity on the object, Kar allows the material to remain open, unstable and alive.⁠
⁠
In Manuel Mérida’s work, the composition remains in motion. In Francisco Salazar’s, white becomes a sensitive space, continually renewed by shadow and by the movement of the gaze. Together with Kar’s sculptural furniture, these works create an interior in which form, function and material remain in constant dialogue.⁠

⁠

⁠
In Louise Traon’s ceramics, matter is never entirely brought under control.⁠
⁠
Wild clays, ashes, granite and chalk participate directly in the emergence of forms, textures and colours. The hand accompanies their reactions rather than imposing itself upon them.⁠
⁠
Placed on a surface with soft, irregular contours, the ceramic retains the memory of earth and fire. The object still seems inhabited by the forces that brought it into being.⁠

LA MATIÈRE AVANT LE NOM⁠
⁠
September 10 to December 24, 2026⁠
⁠
To present works within a collector’s interior is to allow art, design and objects to coexist without hierarchy.⁠
⁠
Across niches and shelves, books, ceramics and objects form an intimate landscape. Each piece retains its singularity while entering into a relationship with those around it.⁠

September 10 to December 24, 2026⁠
⁠
A table, a seat, a wall piece: each form appears familiar at first. Yet, as the gaze lingers, their identities become less certain.⁠
⁠
Synthetic matter takes on a mineral quality, furniture acquires a sculptural presence, and white reliefs shift with the light. The domestic interior becomes the setting for a silent dialogue between function, surface and contemplation.⁠

La matière avant le nom

Before the object is named, there is matter.
Before function, a gesture.
Before definition, a form still open.

In Paris, La matière avant le nom unfolds as a landscape of suspended objects, where sculpture and design meet without seeking to resolve one another.

A space for ambiguity, presence and contemplation.

On the occasion of Paris Design Week, PHILIA and Meyer Zafra present La matière avant le nom, a dialogue between new creations by kar, ceramics by Louise Traon, and works by Manuel Merida, Francisco Salazar Foundation and Anaïs Vindel.⁠
⁠
A chair, a table, a vase, a painting: each object seems at first to be assigned a name, a function, a place. The exhibition begins at the very moment when these certainties begin to unravel.⁠

In the work of kar, fiberglass evokes, in turn, rock, clay or a substance slowly transformed by time.⁠
⁠
The object never fully closes in on its function. It remains on the threshold of sculpture, open enough to still be named otherwise.⁠
⁠
La matière avant le nom refers to this precise moment: when what we are looking at is not yet quite a piece of furniture, a painting or a sculpture.⁠

From one work to the next, painting acquires volume, furniture becomes almost an image, and ceramics retain the memory of earth and fire.⁠
⁠
The shifting matter of Manuel Merida’s work meets the irregular surfaces and supple volumes of kar’s Formless collection. Between surface and depth, use and contemplation, categories become momentarily uncertain.⁠
