Old Is The New
We’ve been seeing designers play with recycled or repurposed materials for some time now. Designer Sandra Benhamou’s Paris Design Week installation at Galerie Vauclair, for example, showcased a custom chandelier constructed from vintage Murano glass pieces from the Veronese archives, presiding over her new sofa and cocktail table designs.
On the other end of the spectrum, India Mahdavi’s satellite exhibition, Greetings from Greece, presented in collaboration with Athens-based Carwan Gallery, was revelatory in its mundanity. The young designer Savvas Laz stood out for his Trashformers series, in which he transforms styrofoam from discarded consumer electronics packaging with fiberglass and pop-y hues.
Forget Color Blocking: Meet Pattern Blocking
Pattern was pronounced at Paris Design Week this year, and designers’ maximalist installations spurred the emotions as much as the imagination. Design darling Laura Gonzalez showcased an epic conflation of prints at her eponymous gallery, layering signature Schumacher fabrics in luxe expanses. The fabric house’s newly opened showroom, a few blocks away, was equally dizzying in the best way possible.
Designers Are Getting Ethereal
Bold strokes still abound in Paris and on the fair floor at Maison & Objet, but we saw a material exploration of softness from designers this year that felt like a prelude to something much bigger. At the Espace Commines presentation, design duo Sabourin Costes presented a beautiful resin and glass cocktail table alongside tubular stools and a tendril-y vase inspired by sea anemones.
Elsewhere, Clarisse Demory curated a pop-up for the perfumer Nonfiction dubbed Language of Light, where Rahee Yoon’s ombré resin Block objects stood out for their ethereal, meditative quality.
Curves Are In
Seating was equally soft this year, in profile as much as fabric composition. Pieces embraced curvature, like Bina Baitel’s sloped sofa or the blue velvet tête-à-tête installed at Designer of the Year Cristina Celestino’s “Palais Exotique” restaurant concept for Mariage Frères. In keeping with the theme, the Invisible Collection presented the architect and designer Aline Asmar d’Amman’s debut furniture collection, featuring a “sensual” conversation salon upholstered in pink mohair.
Silver Is The Real Winner
Aluminum, chrome, and stainless steel dominated the showrooms, from products like Thibault Huguet’s understated Lampe #1, available in customized heights, to Wendy Andreu’s compact Staple Console and Charlotte Juillard’s chrome ISO sconce.
