The Wild Chairs by Brichet&Ziegle, A wild creative commitment

Project on the Brichet&Ziegler’s fascination for the chair and their commitment to a research practice.

Exploring the diversity of expressions, each of the 10 chair prototypes offers a sculptural design resulting from a singular shaping of the material.

JAD with Carole Calvez Tony Jouanneau Anne Agbadou Masson Luce Couillet

Since its opening in September 2022, the JAD has been a pioneering center for the hybridization of know-how, promoting dialogue between arts & crafts and design. Initiated by the Hauts-de-Seine department and run by a group of experts (Groupe SOS Culture, Make Ici and French Savoir-Faire Institute), the JAD hosts 15 craftspeople and designers and is designed as a melting pot for learning and “mutual fertilisation” through the sharing of knowledge, practices and experimentation.

Among them, Carole Calvez (Olfactory designer and nose), Tony Jouanneau (Designer and textile finisher), Anne Agbadou-Masson (Sculptor-ceramist) and Luce Couillet (Textile craftwomen and plastician) have been working on several collaborative projects of research, experimentation and hybridization. For this talk at Labo, the four creators will present their work in progress ; to give a glimpse of their singularity, we can point out Halo, a sensory device that reproduces scent through the experience of color perception, created by Carole Calvez and Marta Bakowski in 2024 and presented for the first time during the Milan Design Week.
