Services Généraux, design is phygital

The Parisian studio blends the boundaries between product design and art direction, concealing physical objects and making fictional worlds look real.

Founded in 2016 in Paris by a designer and an art director, the Parisian studio Service Généraux cancels out the distance between physical product and virtual reality, creating, as its name suggests, a platform that functions as a toolbox for a transversal image curation for the 21st century.

In the (Auto)portraits Series project, developed in 2018, the nine products of the Autoprotraits collection - furniture and accessories with heteroclitic style, materials, and functionality - are reinterpreted by seven photographers who, through the mechanism of the carte blanche, set up a staging aimed at imagining new narratives and new sensorial explorations for the pieces and their scenarios.

La rincorsa tra reale e virtuale si trasforma in una dissimulazione in Maison/Experimental House, una ricerca architettonica sul tema della ruralità e della disconnessione presentata lo scorso autunno alla Galleria Joyce di Parigi. A dispetto del suo iperrealismo, il progetto architettonico del buen retiro nella campagna francese visualizzato nel video in mostra si rivela nient’altro che una realtà virtuale elaborata al computer, mentre i mobili dei tanti designer – tra cui Faye Toogood, Max Lamb, Sabine Marcelis, Neri & Hu, Philippe Malouin - che arredano lo spazio, svelano progressivamente la loro natura di semplici rendering, ammiccando all’impossibilità di una esplorazione sensoriale dello spazio fisico e della disconnessione tanto agognata.
