Ghidini1961 Flirt Collection Joe&ema Vase
FLIRT COLLECTION JOE&EMA VASE
“The collection that I designed for ghidini 1961, flirt collection is comprised of three vases that can be reversed to offer different functions and a bigger range of use
Joe & Ema Ema & Lou Gil & Luc A fruit bowl can become a vase, a smaller vase can turn into a larger vase or a champagne bucket.
Shapes are literally flirting together and extending the possibility of brass, giving flexibility to metal.”
DESIGNER
NOÈ DUCHAUFOUR-LAWRENCE
Originally, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance was a sculptor, preoccupied with each work he created by a story and intimate link with nature that he felt the need to retranscribe by using his hands.
But soon the idea of stirring emotions in others by creating useful forms became an evident path for someone who loves the beautiful as much as the functional and harmony as much as social responsibility.
So he turned to design… Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance often compares his approach to tsubo niwa, the tiny garden at the center of a traditional Japanese house
Like an organic pulse in a profession dedicated to meeting the demands of an industry, a market or a specific client, he is as ready to design objects with inspired lines for manufacturers (Bernhardt Design, Ceccotti Collezioni, Cinna, Ligne Roset, La Chance, Petite Friture, Tacchini, Zanotta…) as he is to imagine harmonious living areas (Senderens, Air France Lounges, Ciel de Paris, Meurice Oenotheque, Transumance Chalet, #Cloud.paris Lounge…) or even to define a product image or showcase for a famous brand (Paco Rabanne, YSL Beauty, Perrier-Jouët,).
With his innate fondness for art nouveau, he relies not only on the universal character of nature to impose shapes that make sense but believes that the idea of a total, multidisciplinary art is vital for contemporary creation.

INSPIRATION
"I thought about the golden tones of brass of how the light reflects on it and historical importance of the material. There is a clear connection between the different elements of these pieces, but the shapes can be reimagined in different configurations and still retain their beauty."
