“La Vallée de l’Étrange”
by James Haywood
Named after the “uncanny valley,” this collection explores our bond with nature and the unease we feel when the artificial becomes almost organic, but not quite.
Where does nature end, and humanity begin — and perhaps, by extension, are robots and AI not also part of nature?
Made to Order
This shape is produced exclusively on commission, allowing the form to be guided toward a mood or character that feels personal to you. We usually begin with a conversation, though you may also share references if you wish — interiors, objects, landscapes, paintings, or even a small set of words that capture the atmosphere you’re after.
Together, we explore several iterations, adjusting presence, contour, and balance until the right character emerges.
Dimensions max: TBD
Material: Typically made in fibre-reinforced concrete, the exact mix depending on usage. The final texture and finish are discussed together and depend on material availability.
