With Jules Bouchier-Vegis, the Ateliers J&J and its founder Jean Angelats have developed the main concept of the Paris collection and designed a tailor-made adaptable shelf in steel and wood and a suspended desk also made of steel and wood. Thomas Brisart presented two models of woven armchairs made of virgin linen on tubular steel frames. Atelier Biermann realized an adjustable bench and, while cabinet maker Laura Greindel, founder of Atelier 365, created a dressing table and a seat made in solid wood. Graphic collective Swiss Maximage dressed up the space and brought a colourful palette to the furniture, while Gogoplex filmmakers made a video to portrait Ateliers J&J.
