FORMA
ANTHONY GUERRÉE
dividing screen
Forma is a screen made of wood and metal. It's accordion-like structure creates alcoves and pedestal-like niches, designed to shelter and enhance the presence of cherished sculptures or objects, both through the composition itself and the reflective qualities of the steel.FORMA
Forma screen redefines the classic paravent, transforming it from a mere partition into a sculptural centerpiece that embodies both elegance and spatial artistry. Designed by Anthony Guerrée and inspired by Carl Andre’s Still Blue Range (1989), Forma embraces Carl Andre’s minimalist philosophy, presenting a composition where presence and absence, solidity and openness are orchestrated with a refined sense of balance.
Through this work, Anthony Guerrée channels the spirit of Carl Andre’s art, emphasizing material purity, structural weight, and the subtle interplay of geometric forms that invite exploration from multiple perspectives.

A TESTAMENT TO CRAFTSMANSHIP
Forma exemplifies La Chance’s dedication to precision and artisanal excellence. Constructed with a rigorous attention to detail, each panel is crafted from Japanese tamo wood and polished stainless steel.
Tamo, a rare and precious wood often reserved for fine lutherie, brings a rich, intricate grain to Forma, adding natural depth and a tactile warmth. This intricate woodwork is paired with the seamless stainless steel, whose polished, mirror-like finish is achieved through a labor-intensive process. Each metal panel is meticulously welded and polished by hand, ensuring flawless, monolithic surfaces that reflect the space around them.

A MINIMALIST STRENGTH
Standing as a sculptural statement, Forma introduces a vertical rhythm into spaces traditionally dominated by horizontal forms, such as tables and seating. This verticality is more than functional; it is a deliberate homage to the French Art Deco tradition of paravents.
