Testimonial
" Every decade seems to bring a new facet to understanding design and the first decade of the millennium coming to a close is already foreshadowing that of the next. From the revolutionary Bauhaus initiatives, to the sudden emergence of modernity in France evoked with humour by Tati in the 1950s’ Mon oncle and the post-modern system designs by Charles Jencks: the list is varied indeed! Following the functional, structural, unveiling and lifestyle cycles to name but a few, what can we expect today? "
— Yann Barbaux
