Earlier I showed you the exhibition of Corpus Studi in Paris, thank you for all the lovely dm’s and reactions on Instagram. Have a look here if you missed the post: Corpus studio at Archick | A PDW24 favourite Corpus studio also gave me the address of ‘Platane’ an exhibition and collaboration of them with Mono Editions
On the occasion of Paris Design Week Mono Editions presented Platane, its third furniture collection. The French publishing house founded by Laetitia Ventura called on the services of architects and designers Corpus Studio to create a series of refined, simple and ergonomic pieces. Have a look at the collection and scrool through my Paris highlight to see how the collection looked during Paris Design week
Platane collection
Platane, the choice of plane wood was an obvious one. Historically planted en masse by Napoleon, the plane tree is an integral part of the French landscape. This tree can be found lining Parisian avenues as well as Provençal avenues. Since 2006, it has been suffering from an epidemic of cankerworm, which is decimating it and leading to it being felled in large numbers. Platane is giving a second life to this majestic species, with its distinctive and mottling, and its instantly recognisable organic pattern, making each piece in the collection unique.
Each piece is based on the same principle of modularity: wooden shapes of standardised thickness are joined together to create different elements that complement each other. The constructive principle is always apparent, working through tension. Depending on the arrangement, the wooden panels are cantilevered, compressed or superimposed. // text & images Mono Editions //
