SEZESSION

1898 - 1918

The Secession style celebrated on this first B114 - personalised by Unexpected Custom - is not the floral, Spring style of the Alfons Mucha posters. On the other hand it brings back memories of an architectural style, visual fragments of buildings seen on different journeys, both near and far away in time and space.

In this "Sacred Spring" - Ver Sacrum - the main color is blue, while next to gold we find purple.
The opalescent purple of Winter sunsets.
The shades of green remind us more of bronze oxidation than hope.
And next to the window with voluptuous lines, "the year was dying so sweetly"...

But there’s no decadent self-satisfaction here, no dandy’s lament.
We rather see memories or Nordic nostalgia.
The golden dome of the Secession building, the peculiar shapes of the Batlló house or a caryatid detail on the facade of a Riga palace.

The grey earth in the trenches swallows the Belle Époque lightness whole.
The Spanish fever virus infects all survivors.
In Vienna Egon Schiele portrays his wife Edith as she’s dying in the spasms of the same pandemic disease that will take him away.

Sarah Bernhardt clothes become military uniforms then black shirts then brown shirts.

Technique:
gold leaf, copper leaf, mother of pearl, transparent colors for glass, Swarovski studs.

UNEXPECTED CUSTOM

A group of artists, architects, designers, art historians, writers and all of kinds of intellectuals came together over a decade ago to create the Unexpected-Custom brand.

Since then the atelier has drawn from their many skills. Incorporating over half a century of research and international success, new ideas are passionately produced by combining the creativeness of the young artists and the experience of the older masters.

Under the "UC" trademark you can find works from the simplest decorations to the most complex creations providing a visual and personal experience full of emotion, allusions and memories.

Like the contents of a manifesto of Viennese Secessionist art the creations come to life surprising the viewer with their high technical quality but also cultural ideas that vibrate due to these strong linkages between different disciplines of human knowledge.
