AD INTERIEURS 2015 CLOSED ON 20TH WITH GREAT SUCCESS.
I SALON DE PERCEPTION I CREATED BY GWENAEL NICOLAS PRESENTS A SPACE WHERE A FIELD OF BEAUTIFUL AND ABSTRACT SCULPTURE TRANSFORM INTO AN INTIMATE SALON. MONOLITHS BECOME FUNCTIONAL CANAPES, CONSOLE AND LOW TABLE.

I SALON DE PERCEPTION I REDEFINES THE VALUE AND MEANING OF THE OBJET WE CALL “FURNITURE”.

BEYOND THE SIMPLE IDEA OF REDESIGNING FURNITURE AND OBJET WITH THE PRESENT TYPOLOGY I SALON DE PERCEPTION I EVOLVES INTO A REFLECTION ABOUT THE EXISTANCE OF THE OBJET ITSELF : DO WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE OUR FUTURE OR CAN WE START TO IMAGINE IT. I SALON DE PERCEPTION I DEFINES THE CONCEPTUALITY OF THE OBJET BUT ALSO THE CONTEXTUALITY, THE TOTALITY OF THE EXPERIENCE AND ITS TRANSFORMATION.

A LIVING SPACE IS A COMPOSITION, A MELODY OF SURFACES AND RESONANCES. EACH ENTITY, OBJET COMPLETE EACH OTHER IN A SYMPHONY OF EMOTIONS AND INTERCONNECTIONS. EACH ELEMENT OF I SALON DE PERCEPTION I IS AN INSTRUMENT THAT REVEAL ITS TRUE NATURE ONLY WHEN NEEDED, TO PLEASE AND EASE THE USER WITH COMFORT AND PURPOSE.

THE AIM OF THE LIGHT IS TO DEFINE THE SPACE WITH ITS IMPALPABLE AND DELICATE CONSISTENCY IN ORDER TO CREATE AN EMOTIONAL PATH TROUGHT FUNCTIONALITY, CREATIVITY AND TECHNOLOGY.

THE COOL AND SHARP VERTICAL LIGHT SLOWLY TURNS INTO A WARM AND HORIZONTAL GLOW.
TRANSPARENCY, MYSTERY, TRANSFORMATION, THE LIGHT IS DELICATELY FILTERED THROUGH LAYERS OF FABRIC, THAT RESONATES AND WRAPS THE SPACE IN A UNIQUE AND COMPLEX SHADES OF LIGHT.
BARBARA BALESTRERI CREATED AN UNIQUE LIGHTING, THAT UNIFIES ALL, CREATES SURFACES, UNDERLINE SIMPLICITY AND GUIDE THE EYE OF THE VIEWER.
TECHNOLOGY WAS ALSO INVITED TO COMPLETE THE SCENE AND ENHANCE THE TRANSFORMATION: FLOS CREATED UNIQUE CEILING FIXTURE THAT DISAPPEAR IN THE CEILING THROUGH A COMPLEX AND INVISIBLE MECANISM, A DELICATE BRONZE PLATE REMAIN VISIBLE, LIKE A DETAIL THAT TRIGGER CURIOSITY.

VERTICAL, THE FIELD OF ABSTRACT SCULPTURE, STANDS, FREED FROM THE BURDEN OF HIS DUTIES AND EMANCIPATED FROM THE USUAL FORMAL APPEARANCE, CULTURE OR HISTORICAL REFERENCE, FREE THE SPACE. THE COOL LIGHT GLOW REVEALS EACH DETAIL OF THE TEXTURE, THE VERTICAL MONLOLITH APPEAR LIKE A BLOCK OF WHITE GRANIT.

HORIZONTAL, THE SCULPTURE TURNS TO BECOME A SOFA AND APPEAR THE PROSAIC INTERIOR. THE WARM AND HORIZONTAL LIGHT FILTER THROUGH FABRIC LAYERS, AND SOFTEN THE TEXTURE.

SIMPLICITY REVEALS EXTREME COMPLEXITY AND THE PLEASURE OF DISCOVERY. THE PIECES THAT APPEAR SIMPLE ARE CRAFTED WITH UNIQUE TEXTURES AND SURFACES THAT RESONATES OF HUNDREDS OF REFLECTIONS AND SHIMMERS.
