“Pigeon Poetics,” a concept by Alireza Yavari, redefines luxury with the Sapience Chair. Blending urban-inspired embroidery, gold leaf, and pearls, this design challenges traditional notions of exclusivity and mass-produced luxury.

PIGEON POETICS

Art Concept by Alireza Yavari, SENTIENT’s Co-Founder 

The latest collaboration piece of SENTIENT’s Sapience Chair, conceptualized by Alireza Yavari, introduces an unexpected embroidery pattern inspired by the spontaneous markings often found in urban landscapes. This unique design element, enhanced with gold leaf and pearls, boldly critiques the luxury market’s tendency towards pretension, cleverly questioning the authenticity and exclusivity of mass-produced luxury items.

Redefining Luxury

By integrating urban elements into sophisticated design, this art installation encourages a reconsideration of what constitutes true luxury. This chair does not conform to convention. Instead, it stands as a bold statement against the bland uniformity that often characterizes high-end design, promoting a more genuine and thoughtful approach to what is considered luxurious and desirable in contemporary interiors.

A Story of Craftsmanship

At SENTIENT, every piece begins as an idea—a story that our artisans bring to life with painstaking dedication and masterful technique. The Sapience Chair is no exception, embodying our deep commitment to the art of craftsmanship and the pursuit of authentic expression. With an intricate blend of traditional methods and innovative artistry, each chair is meticulously hand-crafted, creating a one-of-a-kind work that merges aesthetic beauty with cultural commentary.

Collaboration with Le Studio Anthost

The application of gold leaf and pearls was completed in collaboration with Le Studio Anthost, adding yet another layer of creative expertise to this evocative project. Together, SENTIENT and Le Studio Anthost have crafted a design that challenges and delights—a true celebration of artistry, craftsmanship, and unconventional luxury.
