There is no
foolish trade — every hand
knows what it saves
Le peigne is a small sculpture 3D-printed in a material made from mussel shells and corn. It takes the form of a loom reed, a tool of textile work.
By remaking a traditional tool with a contemporary technique and material, Sébastien Bonin separates the object from its function to keep its memory: a know-how reactivated rather than mourned.
