Studio With A View: the designers at FabLab.iMAL

Project:

The project Embossed highlights the programmed and orthonormal movement of the CNC (CNC milling machine) and more particularly that of the 3-axis CNC, referring to the direct and straight feel of Art Deco architecture.

Art Deco is the art of modernism: it is the art of geometry, order, symmetry, sobriety. It is the art of angles, cut-off corners, circles, roundness and octagones.

Embossed is like a waffle mould, engraved digitally and allowing the production of a series of moulded leather tables.

An expansive foam is cast between two sheets of leather in the mould. The foam will goffer the leather while it is expanding. The inlaid kind geometric pattern is used to structure and give to the furniture its final shape.

About Damien Gernay

His approach of the object is determined by a sensitive outlook on today's world. Damien attempts to translate in 3 dimensions a world of perception: where touch becomes volume, visual becomes color, and frequency becomes shape.

Damien tries to make up with the vocabulary peculiar to each materials, and creates his own language by applying, superimposing and confrontating different materials. The object therefore becomes meaningful. It evokes, insinuates, questions. Single or multiple, its meaning becomes coherent.
