Le Meilleurs des Mondes

Every year, the ‘Salon de l’IFA’ (French Institute of Architecture) invites a designer to carte-blanche to realize a project within the museum.
 
Faustino opted to position his creation in the Cast Gallery where reproductions from The Last Judgement inspired his version of the ‘boardroom’ in which contemporary creation meets heritage.
 The fragile, unstable looking chair ensemble was designed as a distorted reflection of a meeting place — a gathering for an exchange of dialogue, discussion, dispute — and one in which power is most definitely exercised. It's a sort of ‘micro-nation’ with uncertain lines and instabilities that question our debating procedure.
 As always, Faustino’s work is thought-provoking, somewhat un-settling and certainly intriguing.
