"Architectural Walk" by Christophe Pillet
A master class was held as part of the MosBuild exhibition"Architectural Walk" by Christophe Pillet, a French designer who developed the Memoria Black series for Vitra. Christophe Pillet, designer Bachelor and Master of Design. Graduated from the School of Design and Fashion in Milan. Christophe Pillet's career began in the Philippe Starck bureau. In 1993, he opened his own design bureau. He has worked with brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Lacoste, Renault Serralunga, Shiseido, Whirpool and many others. christophepillet.com The master class began with Christophe Pillet recalling the beginning of his creative path and the search for his own style. When I first started doing design, modernism was very popular. Stylistically, I have adopted little from this art movement, but I have borrowed its positive philosophy and versatility. Design attracts me because we do not make a revolution, but simply make objects that we like.
Christophe Pillet Master shared his viewson design: according to Christophe Pillet, objects for public spaces should not differ from furniture for private interiors. The designer mentioned another misconception - "a good thing should be big". Christophe Pillet also said that he makes truly valuable objects, but they do not take up much space. One of the favorite themes of the French designer is the connection between the past and the present. In my opinion, a thing has no age. A designer must use heritage and a modern approach. I do not create vintage, but my product has the best features of the past.
Christophe Pillet In addition, Christophe Pillet toldabout my work on interior design - a hotel in Paris, a restaurant in Casablanca, a hotel in Morocco. The more I do interior design, the more I understand that it is similar to creating scenery. The atmosphere plays a big role, it is similar to the theater. It is important to show the reality, which is based on the ideas of the company. The designer in this case acts as a translator.
Christophe Pillet According to the French master, heIt was very interesting to work with Vitra, which offered him to create high-quality bathroom furniture. I wanted to talk about the uniqueness of the company, its experience and knowledge through objects. In the case of Vitra, it is not always easy to understand whether it is furniture or plumbing - this is one of the differences from other manufacturers.
Christophe Pillet After the master class, ChristophePillet answered questions from visitors to the event — architects, designers and journalists. Fans of the French master's work learned that in his youth, Christophe Pillet wanted to become a musician, that he has a team of 17 people. By the way, the designer, according to him, has an absolutely typical house in Paris. Christophe Pillet also said that he really liked Moscow and its diverse architecture. This means that we can hope that the French designer will come to the capital with a new master class.
