A casca descascada das árvores revelava nuances intrigantes de formas e cores, o que me fez pensar imediatamente em usá-las como inspiraçăo para o projeto da Topázio. As camadas sugerem uma linguagem que valoriza a beleza do objeto, trazendo uma complexidade sutil a partir de uma ideia simples. Utilizei as competęncias e o legado da Topázio como base para uma expressăo moderna. A pureza e simplicidade da peça só poderiam ser alcançadas graças ŕ habilidade excecional dos artesăos. Após muitos testes, optei pelo acabamento mais puro e simples disponível na Topázio: o espelhado em latăo e prata, que transmite a elegância e a sofisticaçăo da marca. Empresas com tradiçăo mostram que preservar antigas técnicas é essencial para criar peças contemporâneas que perdurem. A simplicidade e pureza do objeto săo características que, na minha visăo, representam o progresso da Topázio até os dias atuais; a execuçăo impecável realça a beleza dos reflexos e celebra esse legado com sofisticaçăo.

BIOGRAPHY A multidisciplinary French designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance is known well known for his sensitive attention to materials and details, as well as for the refinement of his organic forms. From his initial training as a sculptor, he has kept this innate aptitude for dialogue between space and object. The duality between artistic vision and meticulous rigour, nature and the city, functionality and emotion flows seamlessly through his projects, whether in interior architecture (the Sketch ŕ in London, the Air France lounges, the chalet at La Transhumance) or in the design of furniture or objects (published by Ceccotti, Bernhardt Design, Ligne Roset, La Chance, Hermčs, Saint-Louis, Revol), but also tailor-made for private clients or cultural institutions such as the Villa Medici. His work has always flourished in collaboration and dialogue with craftsmen and craftswomen, and this approach takes on even more cultural and emotional depth today. In order to reconnect with nature and weave a sensitive link between man and his environment, he chose to move to Lisbon in 2017. From this immersion was born the Made In Situ project. Through its various chapters and encounters - to date the black ceramics of Tondela Barro Negro, the cork from the Algarve Burnt Cork, the Azulejos of Viuva Lamego, the bronze of Peniche and the beeswax candles of Fatima, Bronze & Beeswax as well as the latest French opus rooted in the ‘massif des Maures’ Chęne & Ličge - Made In Situ explores, through the prism of the designer's eyes, a variety of territories, geological, artisanal, economic and cultural. A travel diary that can only be extended, in France or elsewhere. |
