Our tangible environment is rendered abstract by complex globalised processes and materials whose meaning is uncertain and constantly changing. At the same time, the environmental repercussions of our production model have delayed but physical effects on our everyday lives.
In an attempt to combat alienation and disorientation, I am looking for plant materials in the area around the villa Noailles. This debris, in the form of leaves, branches or pebbles, is assembled into structures that are fragilely interdependent with standardised metal sections.With the sponsorship of Lit NationalProject realised with the support of :

La vie aquatique is a kitchen conceived as a gentle tension between action and contemplation. It is built around a chromatic dialogue between the deep ochre of Provençal terracotta tiles and touches of green evoking the sea, vegetation, and laboratory glassware. The space is divided into two zones : on one side, a kitchen-laboratory where tiles define the worktop, niches, and protrusions, hosting mobile burners, glass containers, and custom-cast aluminum utensils ; on the other, a slightly elevated platform with a single chair and a round table – a quieter, more meditative space. The whole is punctuated with bas-reliefs inspired by marine iconography, blending imagined scientific references, organic forms, and industrial poetry.Sponsored by DelislePROJECT REALISED WITH THE SUPPORT OF:

Originally from Lebanon and Toulon, we grew up by the sea.
Growing up on the shores of the Mediterranean meant growing up with the horizon, an elusive limit that inescapably advances towards those who observe it.
In response to this world that constantly overwhelms us, we wanted to materialise the horizon inside the house. We created a temperate, breathable space, largely occupied by a platform of solid Scots pine whose veins recall the reflections of water. We combined this with the contrasting sensation of freshness of feet slipping under the surface of the sun-warmed sand. The accessories on the table evoke Mediterranean rituals for coping with the heat.
A lamp crossing the tabletop illuminates both the top and the bottom. Like an anchor on the seabed, it reveals treasures buried in the sand. These ancient objects from sunken Mediterranean civilisations act like fragments of our unconscious: they awaken an identity hidden in memory.With the sponsorship of Atelier Mériguet-CarrèrePROJECT REALISED WITH THE SUPPORT OF:

The painter is absent. However, traces of his passage through this summer studio can be found in every corner. He groped for the subject of his next painting. He promised himself that he wouldn’t leave the room until it appeared to him. To do this, he set up makeshift facilities, a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom in a corner. He stretched and stretched and stretched his curtains, which now mark the boundaries of his living spaces.
He quickly went back to looking for his subject. The summer will be over, and he won’t even get a glimpse of it.
In his frenzy, he covers the walls with his palettes, the tiles, the floor and the ceiling. Then he calms down, looks out of the window hoping to find inspiration. He contemplates nature in full bloom, lavender, rosemary, lemon trees… These smells… They embroider his modest bedding, his dressing gowns and his curtains with boutis. No textile escapes them.
He doesn’t really dress himself any more. He alternates between his three dressing gowns, and bathrobes?, almost identical so that he doesn’t have to think about it. In the kitchen, a huge bouquet of flowers perfumes the warm air continuously. In the bathroom, Marseille soap proliferates and adorns the wall with an unusual necklace.
We’re no longer quite sure whether we’re in time, tomorrow or yesterday. Brushes have become fossils. And yet! How long ago did it evaporate?PROJECT REALISED WITH THE SUPPORT OF:Vieujot plaster (walls and floor)
