The New Brevo House by Pedrali
Brevo has given its Parisian headquarters, La Maison Brevo, a major makeover, prioritizing innovation and employee well-being for its 400 staff members. The furnishings, curated by Pedrali, transform the 3,000 sq m of interior and exterior space into dynamic, stimulating environments that foster collaboration and diverse work styles.
A short time later, the artist, aged thirty and unknown, changed his name to Lucien Hervé and became the photographer, or better still the eye, of Le Corbusier, Breuer and Aalto. Sixty years after the first exhibition “Une ville, deux architectures” that Domus dedicated to him in Milan in 1951, a retrospective at CIVA in Brussels describes his way of observing the world and architecture.
Intense and almost abstract, the 200 black and white prints chosen by the curator, many of which have never been shown before, are divided into five “chapters”: abstraction (those that arise from architectural forms and the eye of the photographer), materials, cities, interaction with man and finally, Hervé’s most personal world, the relationship with art and literature.
