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.
Originally commissioned and exhibited at the Schirn Kunsthalle in Frankfurt in 2009, Triumph is inspired by an old friend of Mir's who in his youth was a famous athlete and had kept the memories of his success; in Palermo, Mir collected trophies of all kinds of sports, dating from 1940, cleaned and stored them.
In the installation, trophies are arranged individually and in groups on pedestals and on the floor, or stacked above the one another like debris. Mir explores the power of the trophy, symbol of success in an area that produces a striking mass of little value. On 12 September, at 19:00, Mir will discuss her work and the current installation with Alice Rawsthorn, design critic of the International Herald Tribune.
