Finn Juhl‘s elegant France Chair makes a comeback. First presented in Milan at Salone del Mobile by Danish furniture manufacturer Onecollection, Finn Juhl’s stylish France Chair will be available at Triode next month in Paris. This particular chair played an important role in one of Danish design history’s biggest – but least known – adventures. It is the story about how a British pioneer, named Mr. France, kick-started a Danish export phenomenon.
Triode is the point of reference in Paris for contemporary American design and this spring the gallery is organizing a special online retail event in collaboration with The Cool Republic, the online concept shop for design in France. From February 22-April 22 a selection of objects, lighting and furniture by leading US designers including Apparatus, (image above), Ladies & Gentlemen Studio, Bower, and Rosie Li among others will be available at www.thecoolrepublic.com. This new generation of American designers is frequently producing work by hand in their studios or with a local specialist, maintaining high quality craftsmanship with a strong attention to detail. Materials are often sourced locally or within the USA, and tend to circulate around natural materials like wood, marble, stone, as well as brass and glass. Smartly curated collections that generate continued interest with each look, particularly with lighting, the work is meant to last a lifetime. For the first time in France, Triode is pleased to collaborate with The Cool Republic to offer this exclusive selection of American design for the French market. Lire la suite…
Triode Gallery, specialized in contemporary American design in Paris, is pleased to announce that is now working with Apparatus, the New York based design studio founded in 2010 by Gabriel Hendifar and Jeremy Anderson. In early 2016 an exclusive selection of their work will be on view in the Paris gallery. Born from playful experimentation with vintage lighting components, the studio now includes a staff of 25 people and a range of hand crafted products that includes lighting, furniture, and objects. Aged brass, etched glass, leather, and porcelain, are combined to create lighting fixtures that fuse sculptural form with hand-worn materials. The result is a warm glow that is at once timeworn and thoroughly modern. Each individual fixture is assembled by hand in the Apparatus studio. Raw brass components are meticulously finished to reveal layers of uncommon beauty. Molded and blown glass components are etched and painted to achieve the “perfect Imperfect.”

From June 11th Triode launches two new exhibitions devoted to the new faces of American design, including one off-site at KKDC/OBUMEX. Jacques Barret has been a creative bridge between France and the USA for over ten years and therefore kicks off by inviting Bassam Fellows to Galerie Triode at 28 rue Jacob. The duo’s holistic lifestyle concept is revealed combining architectural minimalism and artisan philosophy. This includes the Tractor Stool (photo above) whose success is far from waning. The same goes for Rosi Li who trained at the Rhode Island School of Design. She has just founded her own studio to develop lights and bespoke objects that she self-produces or designs for companies like Roll & Hill. Her unique style blends mathematical precision with sensual environments. Off-site, the KKDC/OBUMEX showroom at 20, passage Dauphine accommodates the rest of the Triode selection with the young manufacturer Rich Brilliant Willing established in 2007. To be expected as the two brands share the same love of LEDs and contemporary lighting. Rich Brilliant Willing will unveil a large panel from its elegant and equally technical range. The preview of these two parallel and neighbouring exhibitions will take place on Thursday 11th June from 7pm. Lire la suite…
The Pelican chair is celebrating its 75th anniversary! Since 1940, the small organic armchair has won the hearts of several generations of purchasers who prize its comfort and sensuality. Enticing and sculptural, the curved Pelican is one of those modernist icons that has joined the ranks of pieces capable of retaining their dynamic qualities throughout the century. Still comparing favourably today with the most prestigious and contemporary creators. A special edition covered with a fabric designed by the Danish artist Asger Jorn will be launched on this occasion at Triode, House of Finn Juhl Paris, and at Le Bon Marché in Paris. This spontaneous and joyful entanglement of motifs called Macbeth (1942) is most likely the sketch of a painting. This visual artist worked notably with Le Corbusier. He considered painting and writing as one and the same discipline devoted to producing symbols. Lire la suite…
