The Eclipse of Matter

At the intersection of ancient permanence and contemporary grace, Arcadia stands as a landscape of serenity. This three-seater sofa is conceived as a functional horizon where the telluric weight of bronze meets the ethereal purity of light. Through the monumental rhythm of its four hand-engraved pillars, Emmanuel Jonckers creates a sanctuary of matter—a frozen moment of balance where the memory of the earth supports the softest breath of the present.

The Materials: Arcadia is a radical exploration of contrast and weight. The structure is composed of four massive bronze blocks, patinated to a deep, nocturnal hue, while the seat is dressed in a pristine, high-texture white weave. This confrontation between the cold, ancestral intensity of the metal and the warm, tactile softness of the textile creates a powerful sensory paradox.

The Symbolism: The piece acts as a bridge between the eternal and the fleeting. The bronze monoliths, with their dark patinas and rhythmic engravings, symbolize the enduring strength of a forgotten paradise, while the continuous white horizon represents a sanctuary of clarity and modern peace.

The Heritage: By merging monumental sculpture with functional design, Emmanuel Jonckers pays tribute to the “Bronze Age” of decorative arts. Each bronze element is meticulously hand-engraved with bespoke tools, transforming a heavy, eternal alloy into a precious skin that carries the unique vibration of the artisan’s hand.

The Vision: The intention behind Arcadia is to create an architectural anchor within the living space. More than a sofa, it is a landmark designed to offer an experience of profound stability, inviting the collector to rediscover the luxury of time through the timelessness of matter.

Table is composed of three individual parts that can be placed and moved as desired.
