Furthermore, Xavier Lust very quickly made his appearance in the closed circles of the international edition. Since ‘Le Banc’ was published by MDF Italia, he has worked with this publisher, but also with world-renowned brands such as De Padova, Driade, Moroso and Extremis. In 2003, Lust received the Henry van de Velde Award for Young Talent from VIZO. His furniture is recognisable by its taut line. He moulds metal surfaces, which opens up new perspectives for urban furniture, table art, bathrooms, lighting, the upholstery of electrical products, etc. His talent lies in the way he combines creativity on paper and simulation in 3D with a subtle approach in practice.
al(l) Projects in Aluminium by Michael Young
€29.95For Michael Young, experimentation and research into different materials and techniques is his greatest passion.
Born in Sunderland (UK), he works from his studios in Brussels and Hong Kong. His designs for furniture and utensils are technically sophisticated and advanced, but thanks to a touch of humour, never sterile. He has spent more than ten years in Asia testing the most sophisticated technological processes and exploring the possibilities of different types of materials. His aluminium projects in particular stand out for their uniqueness and daring approach. This first monograph offers a nice cross-section of Michael Young’s oeuvre and compiles not only his work in aluminium, but also his most iconic creations in other materials.
This book appears on the occasion of the exhibition al(l) in Grand-Hornu (31 January – 29 May 2016).
