SHADOW BANCH
SHADOW BANCH
Design by Christophe Pillet
The contrast between sharp, linear profiles and soft, radiating forms evokes a harmonious, balanced and unique aesthetic in the Shadow bench, designed by Christophe Pillet.
Two marble slabs with sharp edges are placed parallel to each other: the first constitutes the base of the furniture, while the second serves as the seating surface.
They are shaped by subtle details on the side where they face each other and joined by two partitions with soft edges that seem sculpted from the marble block.
Designed for indoor and outdoor and in various kinds of projects, Shadow is available in Travertino Paglierino, Silver Travertine, Calacatta Carrara, Calacatta Viola and Bianco Carrara.
DESIGNER
CHRISTOPHE PILLET
Christophe Pillet is a French designer who has won international acclaim for the spectrum and quality of his creations.
Architecture, objects, furniture, art direction: his signature is invariably associated with the finest brands and projects of ever-increasing weight and prestige.
Having graduated from extra to actor, Pillet would take on the role of director in 1993 with the creation of his own agency.
In the same year he was nominated ‘Designer of the Year’ at the Salon du Meuble de Paris, and his independent career was launched.
His personality and his career offer distinctive characteristics. Whilst having an art school background (he studied in Nice), he initially launched a music career: he has retained a taste for certain rhythms and time signatures, as well as a search for harmony. Displacement, travel, transit – an interest in movement has never ceased to be present.
Design welcomes this desire for ubiquity, that of gaining intimacy with a problematic as well as the maximum distance possible, creating the conditions for innovation.
This is attested to by the attention that is now devoted to architecture in the agency’s projects, or the emphasis on ‘modest’ projects, in which practical character and economy are privileged exclusively over any other criteria.
To movement, encounters and curiosity respond; between dissipation and concentration, fantasy and rigor, they are an inexhaustible source of dynamic richness for projects, as well as their international developments.
Lucidity of expression and the search for simplicity are the key principles: in the work of Christophe Pillet the elegance is optimized.
Pillet’s perfect command of sensuality and refinement has made him one of the rare French designers who have gained global recognition designing hotels, boutiques and directing artistic projects in the USA, Great-Britain and Japan. He has won international acclaim for the spectrum and quality of his creations. Architecture, objects, furniture, artistic direction, his signature is invariably associated with the finest brands.
