JACQUEMUS PRESENTS ITS FIRST COLLECTION OF OBJECTS
Young French fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is expanding his business into the home decor market with his first interior design collection "Objets". A launch that also celebrates a collaboration with Exteta, in honor of prolific architect Gaetana Emilia Aulenti, better known as Gae Aulenti.
Design, architecture, and the arts have always been a source of inspiration for the designer. With this collaboration, Jacquemus never stops exploring.
"Objets" is the logical continuation of the "Le Raphia" collection and presents fifteen simple and minimalist decorative accessories - vase, plate, tray, bucket, and basket. - almost all of which have the particularity of being made of vegetable-tanned leather. By selecting leather, Jacquemus offers timeless objects designed to last and pass through fashion.
The collaboration with Exteta reveals four pieces of furniture - an armchair, a chaise longue, and two chairs - structured around an original re-edition of the famous Locus Solus collection by Italian designer Gae Aulenti. Dominated by the color yellow, this collection is obviously reminiscent of the south, of the sun, and perfectly reflects the personality of Simon Porte Jacquemus.
For the first time, Simon Porte Jacquemus offers an exclusive selection of photographs and books by his favorite artists who inspired him in the design of the collection "The Raphia" as David Hockney, Tarsila Do Amaral, Rene Burri, Luis Barragán, Claude Nori or Pablo Picasso.
This diversification towards a lifestyle collection is surprising coming from a fashion designer, but Jacquemus has always shown incomparable creativity by proposing pops-up more original than the others, so why not?
A collection that recalls the predictions of our Trend Book Home Design 2023, where we cite the return of neutral colors and noble materials in our homes.
Objects inspired by the modernism of the 60s and highlighted by the perfection of smooth and rounded lines for a timeless harmony.
