Yahel Chirinian
The designer’s incredible new house in India. New creations in exclusivity at Monsoon Heritage beginning June 13.
(PRWEB) May 2, 2005 -- VIA met up with Yahel Chirinian at the Monsoon
Heritage studio she runs with her German partner, environmentalist Doris
Zacheres. Facing the rice fields, in Goa we discuss her vision for her new
creations she will present in June.
Even those who are usually bored by
new-contemporary-neo-design-and- designer find Yahel’s works stunning, deep and
visionary. She's talentful, beautiful, intense and eccentric, she's highly
intelligent, irresistible and fiercely private. From her creative studio in Goa
she redesigns the future.
What does
it matter if the work is beautiful in configuration, generous in space, free
from clutter, sophisticated in details, pure in materials unless it reveals the
soul?
To feel serene, stable, at peace at a place, to remove disorder
and vulgarity from sight, Yahel Chirinian needs nature. “The work of nature
never ceases to amaze me” she says, ““the tree, man's best friend, is a fabulous
material. It terrifies by its massivement but its longevity reassures.”
She works in search of the very essence of the material that she values
so highly. Thus this sentiment takes a special form and becomes an object close
to the senses, which allows wood to remain wood, brings light closer to light,
leaves the horizon open and gives space its dimension. Harmony between figures -
no opposites, no clutter, no tension, no fragments. The finished object involves
the whole body and the senses.
”I love touch and texture. In a
dehumanized world, I strive for the real and the human,” Yahel says.
The
ability to be in touch with reality enables her to react against a univers which
has become too virtual for her. She’s not tempted by technological feats, by the
digital and micro processing era, any more than she is by mass production. Each
object must provoke not only an emotion, but also a feeling of fulfillment and
true sensuality, which makes you immediately feel you want to touch it. No doubt
she has suffered from not being caressed enough. Today, she creates objects that
cry out to be caressed.
Creating with your hands objects which reflect
your unconscious self-image, exorcises an existential fear. This osmosis with
natural elements provides an exceptional, inexhaustible and regenerating source
of inspiration. Indeed, tree and man resemble each other.
”The power of
these emotional objects goes back to their own history, and is engraved in their
very fibers, far beyond the function I give them” she says and adds “the
materialistic culture of perverted forms fears simplicity”.
However
talented, passionate, committed and heroic one is, it does not matter what one
says or makes; creating means suffering the distress of irredeemable failure but
she wants her work to make people dream. There is no further need to compel, the
direction becomes clear. It must be a source of pleasure and sensuality, a place
to which anybody can come and for a while be free from thinking about what he is
going to do.
“I’m a perfectionniste” she says “you don't just get to design
in which environment will live people, but you design the whole world. Human
beings really do want to connect.”.
Yahel Chirinian creates a new
concept of open living space, urban sanctuary and ambiente experience…..a new
relationship between a new design and a new lifestyle. Contemporary and
mutant.
