There is no need to rush for a recovery already started by postponing events initially planned for Tuesday to the following days, giving you a crazy race on Wednesday and Thursday! An effervescence after two weeks in the green – or white – and which already announces a promising spring in terms of creative events.
For all those who have not taken the road to Brussels and the inevitable Collectible, direction MAD and the exhibition dedicated to the designer François Azambourg with nearly 200 pieces from his studio, institutions, publishers and private collections, to penetrate the unsuspected creative universe of the designer in perpetual search of lightness, economy of means and sobriety.
At the Atelier Tarkett rue de Saintonge, the transformation of waste becomes a work of art when it is transformed into a building, at the Cloister of the Psalette: we tell you more here.
Eva Jospin will be a good excuse to check the diameter of the champagne bubbles and happily end the week.
So, enjoy and above all, take care!

SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT
“First moult
“Première Mue” is an installation of material and parametric design, imagined by the designers of Hors studio and Bold design and exhibited at the Cloître de la Psalette (03-03/07-05), as part of the Ministry of Culture’s support program for artistic creation, Mondes nouveaux.
In homage to the adjoining Saint-Gatien cathedral (in Tours) and its builders, the quartet of designers imagined for the Cloître de la Psalette a space of contemplation composed of seats, arranged in an arc around a central column.
Elodie Michaud and Rebecca Fézard, founders of Hors-Studio, as well as William Boujon and Julien Benayoun, creators of the design agency Bold Design, have worked tirelessly for over a year to propose this micro-architecture made in 3D printing with Leatherstone© – a biomaterial made from leather scraps and binders of natural and biodegradable origin – a work that combines art, design, innovation and science.
In dialogue with the ornamental repertoire of the cloister, a transitional building between the Gothic and Renaissance styles, the designers developed a new graphic and aesthetic register, defined by parametric tools and 3D printing using robotic arms that normally extrude concrete. The column, a symbol of elevation and the highest point of the installation, evokes our cultural and architectural heritage and invites us to rethink our modes of production and their environmental impact.
3D leather printing, without petrochemicals and with a low carbon impact!
This facility is a first step in building new ways of building and manufacturing with waste materials.
Leatherstone©, which requires very little energy, does not need to be fired and dries in the open air, becoming as hard as stone, is a material full of promise that opens the way to other ductile and extrudable materials developed within Hors-Studio (research that will be exhibited as part of the Agora du Design grant in Spring 2024).
Biopolymers associated with the resources of the XXIst century (waste) allow the invention of new materials which have their place in the field of design and architecture.
And the resource seems inexhaustible!
