As a Trends & Prospective partner of MAISON&OBJET, Peclers Paris has identified and conceptualized the theme for the new edition of the show (September 5-9, 2024): TERRA COSMOS. Or how the conquest of space, a concrete subject of scientific research and innovation but also the subject of an almost magical reverie, opens the way to the deployment of solutions as sustainable as they are forward-looking, to the benefit of the Earth.
Cosmic artists
Whether they’re dreaming up the aesthetics of the future or drawing inspiration from space to imagine sustainable or creative solutions, space innovation serves as a scientific and aesthetic ideation laboratory for many designers.
The universe of digital artist and artistic director Hugo Fournier seems to be a synthesis of the aesthetics of the future, both born yesterday (the architectural utopias of the 60s) and today. Unusual, at once monumental and intimate, minimal and maximal, his imaginary architectures are above all a call to dream. 3D digital art has given me a lot of freedom to express myself,” he explained a few years ago to Hype&Hyper magazine, “I create places I’d like to be in, in which familiar everyday objects mingle with abstract forms”. His surprising use of materials offers fascinating food for thought.
B Corp certified, Random studio is an experience design studio based in Amsterdam and Paris, that aims at bridging the physical and digital in unexpected ways. Their ambition? Bringing together experience and expertise in sustainable design to become a resource and collaborative partner for their clients and the design community in the conversion to sustainable design. Hence, the studio favours materials that are local, ethically produced, recyclable or degradable and always considers the real-world impact of computing, focusing on energy efficiency, whilst travel and shipping are minimized, and renewable energy systematically used when powering temporary or permanent installations. Being so much in advance on the sustainability front, it seems all the more natural that their poetic avant-garde aesthetic appears as a glimpse into future worlds.
Founders Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis opened their New York– and Athens-based studio in 2016, having in mind to create still life installations and experiential environments and objects, bridging materiality and concept to propose tangible spatial experiences. Their work oscillates between the formal and the intuitive, embracing the handmade and the tactile, the experimental and the poetic. “We like to experiment with the properties of the materials when it comes to our furniture and our site-specific installations,” the designers explain They thrive at creating projects that balance between the long lasting and the ephemeral, and objects whose creative approach stems from abstraction but are still extremely evocative and enriched with layers of conceptual readings: simple yet unfamiliar, sculptural but expressive of the intimate… Objects of a yet to come future.
Come and meet the Peclers Paris team on Thursday, September 5 at 11 am for the OPENING CONFERENCE, a plunge into Terra Cosmos and the new aesthetic solutions and territories emerging from this fascination with the immensity of space.
And meet us at Maison&Objet from September 5th to 9th, at our booth B105 – Hall 7A.
