Grand Prize winner Julie Richoz appropriates the essence of systems and materials which fascinate her, in order to create objects which exhibit a playful simplicity. The series Arrotolare collects everything that rests upon the desk into a single "movement". The different items within the set embrace one another, creating an ensemble. Each design exhibits a simple construction, based upon a sheet of metal that is cut out, bent, and then sealed with a plastic stopper.
The series Bouleau takes its inspiration from a round industrial metal clamp. Beyond its practical uses, the cut-out design of the clamp, translated to wood, fashions the aesthetic of the series.
