Corpus studio at Archick | A PDW24 favourite

When in Paris for the September edition of Maison & Objet I took some time to discover Paris Design week. I only know PDW from a few years back when visiting Merci for drinks on Saturday nights. There is however a lot more to discover. And I loved it so much I will certainly take some more time to visit the different exhibitions, which also brought me to undiscovered new corners of the city.

A real favourite I found at Archik that for the occasion of  PDW presented the work of  Ronan and Konrad, architects and designers, founders of Corpus Studio. A selection of pieces from their bb collection featuring a range of metals with different finishes, all from artisanal foundry work. And for the occasion, exclusively, new custom-designed pieces were  presented in a cozy setting.

They got carte blanche around metal, a material highlighted by the designers in their BB collection and the theme of the Revue N•5  by Archik launched on this occasion.

The bb collection by Corpus Studio The idea of the bb collection came from tectonic experiments in material and form, where equal parts constitute a whole. A simple wheel, cast in aluminium, is divided, repeated, and assembled in a poetic manner to make functional objects that are aesthetically striking. I was told the original idea came from a babybel cheese, whose ingenious, soft, red, wax shell splits away into pieces.
