Biography

Alain Richard is known for his large scale, beautiful photographs of natural landscapes. His photographs depict starry nights, the Moon, the sea, mountains and volcanic craters, the Universe that surrounds us. They are void of human presence and there is no narrative. The viewer is urged to be lost in time and space. Born in 1968 Alain Richard finished his art degree at IATA/Institut des Arts Techniques Siences et Artisanats/ in Namur , Belgium.

After graduation he focused on fashion photography and while very young he worked with the industry’s best known photographers in Paris, France. At 26 he built his first professional photography studio and embarked on a very successful career as fashion photographer. Professionally, Alain’s work was published in Vogue/American and French/, ELLE, W, Marie-Claire and many others

While traveling for various photoshoots, Alain started taking his first quite accomplished photographs of the Moon and the stars. Often working alone , in the middle of the night at isolated places in Chile, Alain was fascinated with the beauty of the Earth which led to a full time occupation as a fine art photographer. Today, Alain Richard photographs have been exhibited widely through out the world, from NYC to Eastern Europe and Asia and enjoys a successful career.

CREDENZA SIDEBOARD BY URQUIOLA & PEPE

Urquiola

Sideboard produced in lacquered metal and stained glass. The pattern recalls a pyramid under the sun, where the “spines” are rays of light.
The sideboard is part a capsule collection inspired by the windows of holy sites as the ones created by Gerhard Richter for Cologne’s Cathedral.

All of the pieces feature geometric panels of blue, red and yellow glass, with diagonal and triangular patterns housed in semi-circular frames.
Limited edition.

Exhibition Kaspar Hamacher From the 07 of December to the 30 of January

Don’t miss this extraordinary exhibition in the Gallery

Taking nature as his basis, Kaspar Hamacher  is focused resolutely on physical rather than conceptual design. As he says himself, he feels more craftsman than designer The things he can do with wood appeal to the imagination: whether it is a tree stump or a piece of leather, the key is authenticity in every step of his design process. Hamacher’s working method always results in a unique, personal piece. A piece of design with a deeper meaning; with a soul.

Re-edition of the mythic Pausania from Ettore Sottsass

Pausania is  re-edition of the 1983 classic “Bankers Lamp” by Memphis-design maestro Ettore Sottsass features innovative light technology and the original design: a black resin body with green synthetic diffuser.

Pausania’s technology has been reimagined to adapt to today’s standards of intelligent, eco-friendly, and energy efficient LED lighting. It is now featuring the latest Tunable White technology, allowing the user to select the right level of intensity as well as the right color of white light he needs for each moment of life.
Pausania has become part of the permanent design collections of world renowned museums like Moma.
