For this emblematic project of private office, we wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Seiz-Breur movement, whose influence is still present today in Breton design and culture. We’ve worked on a balanced design, with sober, functional forms that reflect the authentic, humble spirit of Brittany. From a formal point of view, we use a ‘V’ shape, and this sculptural characteristic develops into the legs and top of the desk, the profiles of the upholstered seats and the assembly details of the door wedges and vases. The desk and seats are made from local solid oak and rest on a made-to-measure foam patterned rug. The entire furnishings perfectly blends with the historic setting and embraces the space’s various embrasures and mouldings. We integrated storage units, coat racks and modular exhibition supports to display the Frac’s works. The centerpiece is a sur-mesure chandelier, poetically depicting a pearl of light on an undulating body of water. The chandelier is made of natural linen fiber composite. Complementing the chandelier is a table lamp with an innovative, dimmable lighting system. This lamp is named “Belle-île” because its glass is blown on the island. The ensemble is a veritable showcase for Breton know-how, since all these objects were designed and manufactured in Brittany.
