Towards the end of the 1950s, Arne Jacobsen designed the Egg chair for the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. It is a chair with a high back and large headrest, which started a new generation of style for chair design. Shelter is part of that stylistic generation: it is comfortable, simple and light. The challenge was to make a clear line to define the boundary between the intimate space, the chair, and the back, which opens the chair to the room. The two spaces are distinct and yet complementary.

A tool belt  to celebrate the marriage of design and craftsmanship becomes a  versatile  modular piece that can be worn or hung. The pockets are shaped after the Valextra signature ‘V’ and each can be detached and reassembled according to the wearer’s needs.

Empreinte is a precious sculptural object aiming to create a dialogue between abstraction and figuration. A portion of a feminine body imprinted in a square of white Limoges porcelain keeps alive the sensuality of the process and the emotional act of creation. You can feel the fingerprints on the skin.

Georges de Feure is a 20th century symbolist painter whose most known and appreciated work is his ‘femme fatale’, also Art Nouveau’s main theme. During the Exposition Universelle of the 1900s, De Feure designed furniture: the sensual lines of his boudoir were spoken highly for their delicateness and feminine grace. The way he created a fusion between material and shape and his wish to render an object alive by giving it human qualities explain why de Feure is the inspiration for the Cabinet Onirique exhibition at AD Intérieurs.
