The Musée de Design et d’Arts Appliqués Contemporains in Lausanne offers Constance Guisset its ground floor spaces for a full take over of the Parisian designer. The exhibition comprises two apartments with identical furniture echo each other; the first in black and white tones and the other entirely in colour.

In her converted space, Constance Guisset invites us to sit down and discover novel perspectives, unexpected viewpoints on the urban landscape of Lausanne. She encourages us to imagine experimental figures, to notice hidden or contrasting light.

The exhibition is an intended ode to colour, conceived as a two-part partition that blurs lines and highlights the great expressive potential of the hot and cold contrast. The visitor arrives into a setting of cold, neutral objects to then find themselves encountering them again, bathed in colour. This creation of pairs also puts pressure on the notion of genderisation in contemporary design, questioning if it is possible to speak about a masculine environment with cold shades or about a more feminine world with warm hues. In this experimental context Constance Guisset seeks to go beyond these conventions.
