They show us materials we had forgotten about. Guillaume Garnier and Florent Linker are creators. Skilled men who play with rare savoir-faire they reinterpret in a contemporary way. Their studio is a place for testing and developing. Their skilled fingers, shaped during their years at the Camondo school, bring life to references to the Art Deco period and to sculpture. They try new things on alabaster, plaster and bronze. The goal? A complete metamorphosis into pieces of furniture and lights. Thanks to this transformation, Garnier and Linker enhance the miracles of nature in simple forms, because they want to show its complexity and powers. The magic happens thanks to the work of French art workshops. This birthplace of crafts managed to highlight unknown and sometimes centenarian materials, such as obsidian and Kitayama cedar. Garnier and Linker discovered and thought them so that they could be changed by every architect and interior designer in accordance to the needs of the project. A visit at the crossroads of two worlds. The first one is common and the second one more personal, since we went to Guillaume Garnier’s apartment.
You can discover the work of Garnier and Linker from March, 13th to April, 7th in the gallery Joyce. 168 galerie de Valois – 75001 Paris. Open hours: 13h30 – 18h30.
