TRACE

This year, the publishing house has taken over a space within the Alcova platform, which brings together designers and companies that reflect on the future of living and manufacturing. For this show, its new products will be displayed in their cases, dressed in the famous blue that Andrée Putman loved. Visitors will find, among others, Ecart International’s Elephant armchair, its 1929 deckchair, and its metal desk by Jean-Michel Frank and Adolphe Chanaux. Visitors will also discover the Reiko screen and the Wolf bridge by Laurent Maugoust and Cécile Chenais. Today, the future of noble materials lies in the finishing of increasingly natural materials. In its Argentat factory, it strives to develop—on a daily basis with its customers—French wood finishes with a minimum of petrochemicals. Visitors can expect to see some of these finishes on some of the pieces exhibited at Alcova.
