Autrement with Dimitri Felouzis
November 2021 – January 2022
As part of the launch of its REVUE N°3, ARCHIK presents this autumn 2021 ``Autrement``, an exhibition dedicated to eco-responsible design, revealing the work of innovative and committed designers. In Marseille, Dimitri Felouzis unveils ``Grume``, his minimalist and upcycled furniture collection
Each year, ARCHIK shares its vision of the city, architecture, crafts and design in its REVUE. This year’s edition, No. 3, is dedicated to the theme of “Paris Autrement”, a world away from a Paris of light, and aims to help you discover initiatives, places and actors who contribute to raising awareness and responding to current ecological issues.
On this occasion ARCHIK has decided to highlight the work of two committed designers who question traditional modes of consumption and manufacture through the use of discarded materials and a global eco-responsible approach.
In Marseille, Dimitri Felouzis, architect and designer, unveils “Grume”, his exclusive collection of furniture made from reused wood, in a natural scenography that evokes the cycle of matter.
Using wood frames and pieces sourced within a 30 km area around his workshop in Montpellier, the designer creates chairs, benches and stools that are both minimalist and contemporary. The amount of energy needed to transform the wood is optimised and the hand tool is favoured. A second life is thus given to the material, whose traces of the past are deliberately left visible to indicate its origin.
Dimitri Felouzis
Dimitri Felouzis is an HMONP architect and designer. He focuses his practice on the small scale: from the manufacture of single pieces to the renovation of old buildings, through the creation of dwellings in harmony with their environment. Attached to local resources and vernacular know-how for their intelligence, his work explores the ecological dimension of the material to rethink everyday space as close as possible to those who live in it.
The Grume seats tell the story of the variations of the material, expressing its entire life cycle. They are also a commitment to a localized and resilient craft against the current modes of overproduction.
