Ingrid Donat has long wielded a painterly approach to temper bronze—her material of choice—with warmth, personality, and texture. The Paris-based designer has spent two years creating her latest masterpiece, the Commode Ooni, which employs scarification techniques to engulf the piece in repetitive lines from front to back that humanize the bronze’s usually smooth surface. Created with 15 artisans and a specialist foundry, the commode will be joined by six other works that highlight the convergence of her craftsmanship and singular vision.
