Simon Laveuve’s miniatures always land slightly off-center in the best way. His improvised towers, inverted cabins, and fragile hideouts sit somewhere between dream and decay. The scale stays small—1:24 or 1:35—but the atmosphere hits full size.
Laveuve builds each piece by hand. Tires, shutters, broken windows, metal scraps, and improvised beams form tiny shelters that feel recently lived in, even though no one appears on-site. A stilt house clings to a cliff. A beach umbrella sits next to a car swallowed by roots. A room bursts with geometric rays. Every structure looks temporary yet stubborn enough to endure.
Some works stack multiple levels into precarious verticals. Others center on a single tension, like a freshly used chair beside a vehicle abandoned for years. Mounted on walls or raised on posts, they shift character as you circle them.
Laveuve has been busy this season. Galerie Decorde presented ten new works at an art fair in Strasbourg. More pieces join Lucas Nadel’s exhibition at Tagliatella Galleries in Paris from November 22 to December 20. Galerie Decorde will also feature his sculptures in its December group show.
