Souvenirs de l’antique I François Bazin
March – May 2023
This exhibition retraces the creative process of the designer who imagined a scenography with a soft and comforting atmosphere, evoking his travel memories.
Through this scenography, François Bazin expresses his vision of a graphic design with pure lines, inspired by plants and architecture. He also pays particular attention to environmentally friendly production methods and the choice of materials he uses. Each object is made by French and European craftsmen, selected for the quality of their work.
Most of the pieces on display were designed for the occasion. Some of them are directly inspired by the discoveries he made during his visits to historical sites. We find the shapes of a column, a fountain or an acanthus leaf. Others come from his observation of nature, like the meridian, inspired by the movement of the waves and the sunset, which the designer contemplates every summer evening.
François Bazin
François Bazin studied at the Versailles School of Architecture, where he deepened his knowledge of classical arts and garden architecture.
Self-taught, he began with drawing, then worked on wood sculpture before creating ceramic pieces. Inspired by nature, he now creates lighting, furniture and small objects for galleries and interior designers, for whom he also creates custom pieces, adapted to each project.
Through an immersive scenography that transports us into a cozy living room inspired by the homes of ancient Greece, François Bazin evokes his memories of travel.
