Console table in Lacquer by Jacques Jarrige "Cloud"

A unique sculptural console by Jacques Jarrige, Cloud is hand-carved in MDF and finished in a luminous white lacquer with a silver leaf interior. The piece embodies Jarrige’s signature approach to form—where intuitive, gestural lines define not only the object itself but also animate the space around it.

The console’s undulating silhouette and asymmetrical openings create a dynamic interplay between solid and void, light and shadow. As the eye follows its flowing contours, the piece appears to move—its form unfolding like a drawing in space. The interior, lined in hand-applied silver leaf, adds depth and contrast, catching light in unexpected ways and highlighting the sculptural recesses with a soft, reflective glow.

More than a functional surface, Cloud is a living object—its energy emerging from the artist’s direct engagement with material and movement. The result is a console that feels at once grounded and ethereal, merging poetic expression with utility.

As with all of Jarrige’s work, this piece invites a relationship with the viewer—an invitation to pause, observe, and experience the quiet vitality of form shaped by hand and guided by intuition.
