Design and Craftsmanship Shined At Maison et Objet 2019 ⇒ Every year, Maison et Objet brings the best of design with incredible stands, interior designers, projects and conferences. Today, Best Design Guides brings you how design and craftsmanship shined at Maison et Objet.
PROJECT CULTURE
Founded By Covet Foundation, Project Culture is an awe-inspiring initiative and the material concretization of a dream that belongs to every single person who celebrates the finest craftsmanship all around the world.
Maison Et Objet was the perfect opportunity for visitors to discover the type of work that the foundation launches within Culture.
The CULTURE Creative Hub is assembling its first steps towards a brighter future for the craftsmanship world and the experimental handcrafted works of art taking shape in the artistic atelier are only the beginning.
CÉCILE GEIGER
Manipulating steel, folding, cutting, welding, then polishing it until it shines or transforming the surfaces through rust or black hematite patinas, her sculptures reflect and respond to that nature. Her work is inspired by the nature that surrounds her: rocks, branches, layers, vegetation, landscapes.
VALERIE COLAS DES FRANCS
This brand brings back to the contemporary trends and luxury design the colourful straw marquetry, giving items for daily use a special twist. Breaking the boundaries of classic marquetry, Valerie is dedicated to straw, a simple, adaptable and natural material that can be rustic and modern at the same time.
MAISON ET OBJET TALKS: “PORTUGAL – ELDORADO ARCHI, DESIGN AND CRAFT”.
This conference counted with the knowledge of interior architects from Oitoemponto, Artur Miranda and Jacques Bec as well as Joana Astolfi designer from Astolfi Studio and Amândio Pereira, founder of Covet Foundation.
AMÂNDIO PEREIRA/COVET FOUNDATION FOR DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Founder & CEO of Covet Group, an international creative company that holds and manages 11 luxury design brands, he started the journey in the design world in 2005 when he founded the renowned Boca do Lobo.
“Craftsmanship has been passed on from generation to generation. People are getting more curious and passionate about it.”
ARTUR MIRANDA AND JACQUES BEC
Oitoemponto* emerged in 1993 from the perfect alchemy between two strikingly different but terribly complementary personalities. It is almost the ideal success story.
“The marble is a part of our country, you can see it in all houses, and monuments. The marble idea started already in the 12th Century – keeping on with the DNA of the country”
JOANA ASTOLFI / STUDIO ASTOLFI
Joana Astolfi is an artist, architect, and designer who draws visual inspiration from a broad universe of found objects.
“Most of my projects have a story, are concepts with a narrative, a full experience.”
