"Light-Hearted gallantries" : Aurélie Rimbert at Gallery Gosserez
24 November '12 - 13 January '13
Paris
The French designer Aurélie Rimbert presents a collection of cabinets, sideboards, chests that is freely inspired by the universe of travel trunks. Exploring this imaginary world, the designer adorns those travel trunks-like pieces of furniture with motives that obsess her : exercise book squares, stockings diamond patterns, canvasses nail heads, Italian Renaissance coffered ceilings mouldings,…
This game plays as much with the patterns that shape and make sense of our daily lives (wefts, repetitions, geometries) than with the underlying references that each trunk carries with it (including the multiple forms of know-how and patience that are required) : what better support than trunks to undertake this motionless journey across the history of design ?
