While a student at ECAL, I had the chance to be invited to create objects for an exhibition in the Appartement 50, a listed apartment of the Cité Radieuse in Marseille. La Cité Radieuse was conceived by the Swiss architect le Corbusier after the Second World War. One of the known inspiration for his building concept is the interplay of public and private spaces of sea liners.
Also taking inspiration from sea liners, I worked on a series of tableware with elements reminiscing of the branded tableware typical of those magnificent ships such as the Normandie, on which le Corbusier travelled frequently.
I worked extensively on the colour of the plates to represent its importance in the design of le Corbusier and his theory of polychromie. I developed a palette that is as close as possible to the basic colours of the Cité Radieuse, which was used to liven up the balconies of the building.
