stories-flos-bourse-de-commerce-paris-00c

Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have filled with light the entrance, the monumental stairs and the restaurant of the Bourse de Commerce, the new contemporary museum of the Pinault Collection in Paris. The project, commissioned by François Pinault, conceived in dialogue with Jean-Jacques Aillagon and Martin Bethenod, and manufactured by Flos Bespoke, expresses the power of a dialogue between architecture and design, between history and contemporary times, developed with delicacy and respect thanks to a unique technical know-how

Studio Visit with Barber and Osgerby

stories-flos-issue-3-studi-visit-with-barber-osferby-00b

It has been nearly thirty years since Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby started their collaboration. Looking back, it was a serendipitous experience that kicked off with a friendship at the Royal College of Art in 1992, and shortly after turned into a studio from the flat they shared in Notting Hill. After graduating from the architecture masters’ degree, their time was spent on built projects, but they both had a passion for a smaller scale, so eventually gravitated towards furniture design and have been creating for design titans ever since

Questionnaire. Nendo

stories-flos-stories-nendo-questionnaire-00

The Japanese word Nendo translates to clay, in English. And it’s a fitting moniker for the shapeshifting firm
—founded by industrial designer Oki Sato and based between Tokyo and Milan—which endlessly reinvents everyday objects. A bird house. A tissue box. A fishing boat. A pen. And, of course, a handful of lights for Flos. We asked the prolific designer and consummate collaborator to fill out this short questionnaire. Much like his designs, his answers are simple, funny, and, we imagine, fueled by lots of coffee
