Between the Lines by Charles Trevelya at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris

7 September - 19 October '13

The Australian designer Charles Trevelyan initially studied materials engineering, majoring in physics and chemistry. This led him to explore the properties of ceramics, glass, plastics and composites. His scientific training does not seem to have been enough as he completed it with a year at the Beaux-Arts where he learned sculpture, three dimensional design and graphics. He became a designer on moving to London in 2000 as a means of putting his scientific and technical skills into pratice.

His education gave him an understanding of the structure of objects, the Way they are built, how they work. This has proven to be a useful dimension when putting together a project. "I don't use it consciously but it is likely that my scientific background influences my work."

The "Shelflife" storage system and the "Archipelago" table were an affirmation of his personality. These strongly symbolic projects are the fruit of reflection on the mathematical principle: observation + inspiration = solution.
