Pierre Charpin - Entre les vases / Amidst the Vases

Pierre Charpin - Entre les vases / Amidst the Vases: A fine arts graduate, Pierre Charpin has devoted himself since the early 1990s to designing furniture and other objects. The present publication, the first to trace his career to date, provides a comprehensive overview of his creations, complemented by critical essays and a text by the designer himself. Pierre Charpin's works are recognizable in the unflagging attention paid to their formal and basic qualities, as well as their wide range of expressivity, born of the interplay between materials, proportions and colours. Thus, we as users can apprehend his creations sensuously and are free to interpret for ourselves their meanings and possible uses.
