PalmSpring refers to the palm on the back of the chair and to the season during which the first chair has been concepted.
The back of the chair is made from recycled Brazilian coffee bags found in Parisians’ coffee roasting plants.
The pearls winding around the armrest are seeds that grow in cluster on the açai palm tree. Their tint is obtained from plant colouring agents.
Created using a vintage bridge armchair picked up for a bargain in Paris, the chair – including the upholstery of the seat itself – was totally refurbished by hand, using French know-how. The work is composed of webbings, hard canvas, leaf fibre and animal hair, twines, cotton cloth and upholstery tack.

Indian cultural center
Â
Project designed for the agency Clé Millet International.
The project is designed around a giant "kolam".This is an Indian tradition passed down from mother to daughter, which consists of drawing geometric patterns freehand by letting rice powder flow between the thumb and forefinger. It is made in front of the entrance of houses in order to attract the good graces of the deities and to welcome guests.
This ephemeral art is here revisited in a perennial version. This time the motif is in brass and is embedded in the terrazzo. The principle acknowledges the anchoring of Indian culture in this place, which is intended to promote it. The kolam extends along the entire length of the central axis from the entrance to the auditorium.
The matt white terrazzo runs over the entire floor without distinction. The absence of a break in the material allows the perspectives to be enlarged and offers a mineral and racy identity to the place. The brass patterns on the floor and the satin of the curtains and cushions give rhythm to the space with their golden glow. The planted patio at its heart is topped by a water lily dome. Tropical plants flourish in large terracotta jars.
A large fresco composed of reproductions of Indian miniatures from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries from the reserves of the Richelieu Library occupies the wall of the cafeteria. Scenes of daily life, portraits of princes and princesses, deities, animals, musicians and dancers make up the work.
In front of the fresco, the revisited bistro tables are composed of a brass tulip base and a terrazzo top of the same construction as the one on the floor. A brass inlay in the centre shows the table number in Sanskrit. The circular rattan armchairs are topped with cushions.
Long satin benches line the patio and the central hall. They are complemented by the low bistro tables.Alabaster and brass globes light up the space, while flower petals adorn large brass urns on the floor.
After approving the proposal and all the suppliers, the client finally decided not to implement it.
