Nature and its contemplation have always played a key role in the work of the brothers from Quimper, from the “disintegrated kitchen” presented at Milan’s Furniture Fair way back in 1997 to the space designed for Issey Miyake in Paris. This growing inspiration shows up once again, more recently, in Alga (a vegetal module that grows in space like a climbing plant) and in designs for Kvadrat, the North Tile fabric panel and Cloud, the latest evolution of the soft wall (published in the February issue of Domus). These projects, alongside their more experimental work, sustained by the Kreo Gallery in Paris, are stages in an exhibition that features everything from drawings (the lesser-known part of their work) to the realisation, revealing the goings-on at their atelier in Saint-Denis.
