PS Maz la chaise Mito c’était donc toi?

If you have any cool questions about french or world design Please send an e-mail

Alalala toi et les questions, toujours à côté de la plaque… As tu compris le system d’éclairage ? Comment sa marche, l’intérêt ?

1/Maz je crois que Laviani a tronçonné son CV , pas tres pratique… sinon il se partage entre Milan et le brésil …
2/ Pour repondre à Cedric…
On voit la toute la difficulté de la communication autour d’une lampe sur tous les supports de com, c’est pourquoi à moins de faire une lampe baroque en plastique comme son dernier succès rien n’éclaire ou rien n’est clair…

Comme pour la chaise Grcic pour Planck, il faut chercher du côté de la Scandinavie et de Marimekko .

D’un autre côté pour Laviani, il faut toujours regarder vers Starck et cette fois non vers une lampe Flos mais vers la chaise hi-cut de Kartell.
A mon avis les italiens doivent avoir soit la même source ( un bureau de tendance de Milan) soit le même feeling…
