Recognized as Designer of the Year at the Maison & Objet show of 2007, the French designer known as Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance has since found his niche working with luxury brands like Ceccotti Collezioni, Zanotta, Cinna, Baccarat, Yves Saint Laurent beauty and even Air France. It’s no wonder, then, why his recent Naturoscopie III mirror and low table design becomes a high end art exhibit of its own with the use of LED lighting and silkscreened photography.

Featuring a Photographic Silkscreen with LED Lighting and an Aluminum Structure

“Each of these objects acts as a black box camera, a developer of images and emotions,” begins the translation of his rectangular Naturoscopie III work of art. “The perception of a landscape, a changing sky, a sunset or the Northern Lights is supported by the partial vision, moving and colorful silkscreen of a photograph on aluminum hidden inside,” he continues, pointing out both the inspiration for the work that he designed with skills that have been passed down from his father, a sculptor, unto him.

“The point here is not the image itself, but the prints contained in a time past, a memory kept alive… LED spots alternately sweep the printed surface. The photograph is never visible in its entirety.”

As a versatile piece of furniture whose colors are part of its undulating design within its ever-changing surface, the Naturoscopie III allows the viewer to “project himself into his own sensory memory” in order to fully experience the work of art – that also stands as a mirror and low table whose artistic splendor we can all appreciate.

About the Designer: Both a designer and interior designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance works with natural forms to achieve flexible, organic results. His style might be described as one that is both fluid and yet structured, creating works that stem from his training at the ENSAAMA and the Arts Décoratifs in Paris in metal sculpture and design, respectively. He founded his own studio in the early 2000s and continues to define himself through creative, nature-driven pieces and interiors year after year.
