at a glance
A sculptor's catalogue built for the two feet between her and a collector — handed over on a phone, mid-conversation, at Paris Design Week.
problem
suvetuz makes narrative functional sculpture: machined stainless steel and wood joined to unaltered fragments of Planet Earth — raw rock, seashell, rosewood.
This is not a site people find on Google. It is the catalogue she holds out to a collector standing beside her at Galerie Joseph, on a phone, in a crowded room — so every decision had to answer to arm's length, one tap in and one tap out, and nothing to parse.
The work itself resists a tidy grid. The lamp totems are tall and thin; the shelving pieces are wide and low. Crop them to a uniform square and both become the same bland tile.
approach
Built the entrance as her own sketch — a wall of shelf bays, her words were "shelves/sudoku cells" — carrying her fifteen drawings at the cell numbers she dictated. The empty bays stay empty: the space between the work is what makes a shelf read as a shelf and not a contact sheet.
Kept every object's native proportion, so the catalogue reads the way the work stands — some pieces towering, some squat — and set the metadata as a museum wall label rather than a spec table.
Transcribed every field from her own captions and her own words. Where she had not stated a medium or a measurement, the line is absent and the catalogue reports the gap, rather than filling it in from a photograph.
Gave her her own hand back: her logo animation loops across the masthead with its ground line carried out to both edges, and the type is a typewriter face — the caption to a drawing, at her request.
outcome
Live at suvetuz.com, and in her hands at Galerie Joseph for Paris Design Week, 10–19 September 2026.
