Moustache: Favoris #01

On view during Maison&Objet, Favoris #01 is an exhibition of 100 unique, unseen and remarkable pieces crowned by an auction party curated by Moustache.

Favoris are those which, through their merit or their beauty, are particularly favoured, those which are the most preferred by the powerful.

Favoris is also, and is less well-known, the name the French generally use to describe the hair extending down each side of the face and to where it becomes a beard.

A close relative of Moustache, Favoris is to be seen as a step sideways for the publishers that they are, temporarily opening up an unrestricted territory to be explored, a place for normally forbidden experiments.

The initiative is intended to promote projects that, they cannot always support and produce with Moustache but who they admire. Released from their customary constraints, they only make a list of the designers with whom they dream of working but with whom it is complicated to organise as their productions are technically futuristic or brilliantly handcrafted… So the exhibition has been put together quite subjectively, like an exploratory notebook full of impossibilities which deserve to be shown, such as Moustache’s ideal cabinet of curiosities.
