Rope Console Tables

Ultra-marine painted cotton cord. "Christian Astuguevieille is one of those rare polymaths one encounters in the design world, an occupational dabbler who, resisting pigeonholes, made a name for himself over the past several decades as an artistic director of both fashion and fragrance houses and also as a sculptor, a furniture designer, a maker of jewelry and objects and, not least, as the nose behind the fragrance produced by the Japanese design house, Comme des Garçons." Guy Trebay, The New York Times, November 2011 Passionately committed to eliciting sensory reactions through all he creates, in the 1980s Astuguevieille became interested in the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi and in furoshiki - the art of wrapping objects in textile bundles.

French designers Adrien Audoux & Frida Minet were committed to a design ethos based on accessible materials as a mean to represent the realities of modern life. In reaction to the Paris Exposition des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels of 1925, which they deemed to only cater to a wealthy elite they set to ground their designs in something more homespun, even rustic.
