Paris Design Week: Now! Le Off
Tweet
With Now! Le Off, ruimte voor jong design en avant-garde, Paris Design Week maakt 1200 m2 van de doks van de Seine of the Docks en Seine beschikbaar voor ontwerpers voor een 180 graden overview van de next Franse en internationale generatie designers.
Bina Baitel 'Operio'
The young Parisian designer, associated with the Next Level gallery, will present a series of new furniture pieces. The Operio sideboard is a piece where the material’s fluidity draws on a solid an functional form.
Lamp by Jean Couvreur
In all, more than 60 designers will present their vision of the domestic world, from the most arty-ficial of Frederique Morel’s scenic incarnations, to the realism of free art projects, such as Pauline Deltour’s office accessories, the chinese designer Chenzu Sun’s seating system, lights by Jean Couvreur, Pool discovered at the Nouvelle Vague exhibition in Milan, or the surprising geometric Bistable shelves by Charles Kalpakian, who plays around with our blurred vision.
eliumstudio table 'Do it Yourself'
Initially conceived for L’Express magazine at the request of Marion Vignal, this series of simple tables will finally meet its public after having been put on hold. A table-top, lampshade support and colored cord to unify the whole, it can all be put together yourself! Eliumstudio, too often labelled as "designers of industrial products", demonstrates here a talent and sensitivity towards furniture with elegance and humour.
Glitch Fiction
A collective founded at the Royal College of Art, Glitch Fiction proposes scenery objects for an activist design. It is a border between fiction and reality as enjoyable as it is experimental, which enables the designers to explore fields such as genetic manipulation, biopolitics and the artificiality of nature. During Paris Design Week, Glitch will exhibit all their new projects by Austin Houldsworth, David Benque, Nicolas Myers, Facet, Thomas Thwaites, Nitipak Samsen, The Workers, Nelly Ben Hayoun et Good Wives and Warriors.
Pauline Deltour office accessories in aluminium
A young designer who went through the studios of Konstantin Grcic, Pauline Deltour is currently working with extruded aluminium to create a range of office accessories. Extrusion is the thermo-mechanical fabrication process through which a compressed material is forced through a mold of the piece being created. One can continuously produce a product of uniform shape, with no limitation of length or signs of deformity. She uses this process to obtain different elements from one form. Once the shape is extruded, it is cut on specific angles producing objects with very distinct silhouettes and configurations.
