LES DESIGNERS

LES INCONTOURNABLES • Overseeing major agencies, many of them for decades now, they are the designers who set the stylistic tone of the times through projects with the biggest French and Italian furniture houses.

LES ARTISTES • For these creators, design means one-of-a-kind pieces, numbered series and gallery shows. From their studios come furniture and accessories that lend contemporary interiors an elusive quality of uniqueness and esthetic cultivation.

LES ÉLÉGANTS • The furniture, accessories and objects that they create attain the sacrosanct duality of comfort and visual appeal. These designers fine-tune every detail, selecting their materials carefully and expressing their style with both talent and humility.

LES COLORISTES • Form, function—and color!For these designers, the latter isa key element in every creation. But that doesn’t mean only bright, vivid tones: their infinite palettesencompass the thousand and onenuances of nature, from marbleto sycamore.

LES « NATURE » • These designers draw inspiration from exploring the vast domain of natural materials, finding the best ways to use each one. In their expert hands, substances like wood, cork, wool and ceramic become things of extraordinary beauty.

LES PURISTES • The apparent simplicity of their creations belies the complexity of the work that goes into them, the intensity of the process for achieving the purest possible form. To ensure that the finished object is everything it should be, and nothing more.

LES DÉCORATEURS • In addition to the décors that they compose for their clients, they dream up sophisticated furniture creations, which more and more often are made available to the general public, presented in galleries or showrooms.

LES EXPÉRIMENTATEURS • What fires their creativity is exploration, blazing new paths: choosing little-used materials, inventing new ones, or dreaming up different ways to work with the materials that we thought we knew. And then developing forms that afford a maximum range of expression.

LE RÉPER TOIRE • The meridian is back, along with wraparound headboards, outlandish mirrors, side and end tables with no end of uses… These are just a few of the categories in our directory of new products for 2020. Even though it has been a disastrous year for the furniture sector, the big brands as well as the galleries and self-producing designers (a definite trend) have done their best, with a wealth of new creations to share.
