So French by 5.5

In the exhibition “So French by 5.5” at L'Atelier Renault, 5.5 designstudio revisits some iconic objects with a scenography that honours French creativity.

The 5.5 designstudio reinterpreted for Renault some of the mythical objects engraved in France’s collective memory.

Their inspirations include the legendary beret and sailor shirt; the timeless game of pétanque; the Charentaise slipper; the Gallic moustache; escargots, a gem of French cuisine; wines reflecting the different regions of France; the Duralex canteen drinking glass, part of the nation’s industrial heritage; and national emblems like the rooster and the tricolour flag.

This encounter between traditional know-how and design has given rise to a collection of fun, elegant, clever and timeless objects. Each in its own way, these creations bear witness to the genius of French craftsmanship while paying tribute to French creativity.
