Maison&Objet Paris

True to its DNA, Maison&Objet celebrates its unique ability to reveal inspiring Lifestyle trends, where each object gives soul and character to the Home.

Maison&Objet has invited Amélie Pichard to be its artistic director for September’s renewal edition.

The September show is the precursor to all things new. A vantage point for spotting young creativity in movement and in abundance. Inventing new ways of experiencing interiors as a space for experimentation. It is the meeting place for collectors of new ideas. Those who explore new complementary combinations of design and object. Those who sniff out market tendencies, cutting-edge trends, the zeitgeist. Those who see every object as the culmination of a concept, an idea, a space to be created.

Between effervescence and intimacy, this invitation presents a singular object : a house-teapot — or perhaps a teapot-house — still in the making. Halfway between imagination and reality, it symbolizes the ongoing dialogue between craftsmanship and artificial intelligence.

The fruit of a collaboration between ceramist Blumen and IA, this piece questions contemporary creation, the decompartmentalisation of disciplines and the materialisation of ideas. A suspended sketch, ready to take shape and inhabit the space.
