Uchronia creates a vibrant installation at this year’s Paris Design Week – OnOffice

Titled Think Pink!, the installation began in the manicured courtyard garden where you were met with the first outdoor furniture collection from the brand. Consisting of curvaceous steel seating, enamelled lava stone tables and a vibrant outdoor floor lamp, it caught the eye immediately with its vivacious ombre palette and unique forms: a joyful antidote to the often-predictable materials and colours seen across outdoor furniture design.

Moving indoors into the orangery, which sits at the rear of the venue, it lay awash with colour and pattern as the studio showcased new fabric prints, created in partnership with heritage textile manufacturers Prelle, and an array of new furniture designs. Central to the room was a large circular bed with a sculptural, wavy headboard featuring integrated floral bedside lamps.  However, what seemed to catch the eye was a large-scale screen handcrafted by Atelier Roma which unfolded outwards from a central flower motif. Featuring a range of skillets with inlaid resin, plaster, and lacquer, it was impressive to see such traditional crafts applied to a contemporary masterpiece of such scale and size.

In collaborating with expert artisans across the country, the multidisciplinary design studio has gone from strength to strength in recent years, working across an array of interior and architectural projects. Gaining recognition in 2019 for his debut restaurant project on the roof of Galeries Lafayette, the studio’s founder Julien Sebban has become known for his clever use of material as well as his avant-garde and unconventional approach to design. And, while the applications may vary, the studio’s bold and colourful visual identity remains synonymous across every project meaning a space or piece of furniture designed by the studio is instantly recognisable.
