Design
Use of Material

The Duo dubbed design duo Legrand Jäger came from the United States. The material they had was “Nettuno” in the color skin.

From Legrand Jäger:

Le Confident 
Facial Recognition Emotion (FER) software interface The Confident or head-to-head is an archetypal design object, originally from XIX century, that uniquely embodies communication. Often thought of as a seat for gossip, its sitters are uniquely located for intimate conversation. In Legrand Jäger’s recalibrated version of the seat, our culture of quantification and gamification informs the object’s design both stylistically and functionally. Based on a personal understanding of gaming seat consoles, a personal face recognition (FER) software interface between the conversation partners, emotional feedback, live monitoring, during their exchange. Only seven human emotions are universally identified by such devices, enough for efficient profiling according to specialists.  

A special thanks to IKSV and Hayung-Ok Park for production and Adjmal Sarwary from Mind Trace for customizing his emotion tracking software. – Website:  www.studiolegrandjager.com

The material is a fire resistant complex of PET over MDF wood. In this particular circumstance, it was laminated on boards of 3m by 0.6m, enabling the perfect flatness for the support, essential to preserve the iridescent and metallic qualities unique to the product.

Hypnotic Carpet Summer Party

La soirée a été un succès avec la chanteuse Adah, Dj Jean Croc, Champagne, une variété de hors-d’œuvre et de délicieuses friandises et tous nos merveilleux invités.

L’inspiration derrière le thème Hypnotic Carpet provient d’une forme de camouflage utilisée pendant les deux guerres mondiales appelé Dazzle. L’intention du camouflage n’était pas de dissimuler, mais plutôt de rendre difficile pour l’adversaire de mesurer la distance à la cible. American Supply a recréé l’imprimé Dazzle sur les tapis afin de détourner la perception des invités du sol. Des stelles en PMMA ainsi que des diamants recouverts du matériau “Magic Mirror” d’American Supply ont été créés pour accentuer davantage l’effet du tapis et le rendre encore plus Hypnotique.

Vivement l’année prochaine 😉
