EMILIE BONAVENTURE
It's been 13 years since the decorator-scenographer started collaborating with
the Galerie Jacques Lacoste. Over the years she has designed booths for the
gallery’s participation in PAD Paris as well as in London, including awardwinning designs in 2008, 2011 and 2015. For this year’s edition, Emilie has
drawn her inspiration from Art Nouveau, putting forward a pair of exceptional
Hervé Guimard pieces in a scenography combining William Morris wallpapers
with pastel shades.
GALERIE NEGROPONTES
For the gallery’s fifth anniversary, Sophie Negropontes and designer Hervé
Langlais present 'Synthesis'', a collection drawing its strength from the essence
of the duo’s creative journey. Set up in a more minimalistic way to let the pieces
speak for themselves, the collection leaves great space for the materials to
be expressive. Such materials include royal ebony, sublimed to decorate the
Plumage cabinet, or the Satellites side tables, decorated with brass and stones.
True eye candy, to enjoy without moderation.
