HOW TO DESIGN DEGRADATION ?
Continuing the creative approach of JCPCDR Architecture, the collection of Lone vases is the result of an encounter between the know-how of the White Carrara marble worker and the vision of the architect, made from offcuts of stone blocks used for construction and layout. Each exceptional piece plays with scale ratios, inviting antique monumentality into a decorative object of precious proportions. The timeless geometry of the column is revisited here, inspired by the natural degradation of the ruins. This romantic scenario is interpreted by the architect and draws several contemporary silhouettes, whose lines weave an elegant paradox between the density of the structural element, and the lightness provided by the circulation of light. The finesse of execution, obtained after a long process of research and prototypes, allows to bring an unprecedented transparency to each stone, underlining the unexpected delicacy of this solemn form. Each vase in the Lone collection is made in the French workshops of Blanc Carrare, depending on the stones available. The specially selected lava stone evokes a ruin engulfed by a volcanic eruption. The design of each piece is chosen from 6 variations, depending on the characteristics and properties of the material, in order to bring it to the maximum of its expression. Even more than a design object, a Lone vase is thus the poetic witness to a human story, and to the crossroads between two skills whose dialogue and technical performance are at the service of lasting beauty.

Comme une étude autour du paradoxe entre la simplicité et la technologie, cette table ludique a été conçue comme un objet architectural du quotidien, polyvalent et fonctionnel. Son mécanisme est rendu possible par plusieurs techniques, inspirées par des objets du quotidien : sangles détachables façon « ceintures de sécurité », moteurs de rideaux électriques, éclairage intégré, pieds repliables… Ces détails, ou encore les émetteurs détecteurs du sol ou de la télécommande, sont dissimulés dans un plateau à l’apparence plutôt rustique, aux lignes contemporaines et épurées. Tour à tour bureau, table à manger, table de réunion ou table basse, ce meuble est conçu dans un esprit de flexibilité qui lui permet de s’adapter à plusieurs usages ou espaces, tout en proposant un objet à l’identité visuelle forte et sans compromis.
As a study around the paradox between simplicity and technology, this fun table was designed as an everyday architectural object, versatile and functional. Its mechanism is made possible by several techniques, inspired by everyday objects: detachable straps like “seat belts”, electric curtain motors, integrated lighting, folding legs… These details, or the floor-standing or remote control transmitters, are hidden in a rather rustic-looking tray with sleek, contemporary lines. As a desk, dining table, meeting table or coffee table, this piece of furniture is designed in a spirit of flexibility which allows it to adapt to several uses or spaces, while offering an object with a strong visual identity and without compromise.
