L'Art D'Assembler

There is a certain intelligence in objects that were never meant to belong together, yet somehow do. In the Paris showroom of brocanteur Antoine Billore, stools, columns, tables, and vessels are assembled less by period than by instinct. Wood worn smooth by use stands beside silver softened by time. A painted still life hangs above sculptural forms that feel closer to tools than decoration.

What holds the room together is balance. Each piece is allowed its own presence. Turned columns read almost as architecture. Low stools and small tables keep the scale human. Even the more ornate elements feel grounded, shaped by hand rather than excess. It is an approach that values curiosity over perfection, and composition over signature.

Seen this way, the space becomes a study in balance. Old materials, quietly arranged, doing exactly what they were made to do.
