YPLFL / 2014

When Y’A PAS LE FEU AU LAC asked me to design a collection of objects, I was already conquered by the spirit of this company. A mix of humor, authenticity, quality, accuracy and above all a fascinating and living material: wood.

Soon, I was interested in their expertise and origins that I wanted to highlight. Y’A PAS LE FEU AU LAC is stemmed from and implemented in the Jura, the birthplace of woodturning and wood toy. Expertise (woodturning) and a universe (toy) that I combined in a collection of everyday objects:

-« Ah La Ville » : boxes, miniature symbols of major cities.
-« Clé » : an obvious conception for this two trays. A lacquered metal blade, 2 cleats ash and 2 keys to lock the assembly together.
-« Labo » :this isn’t a launch pad for the next ESA mission; this is rather a small "Rietveld-like" assembly acting as a support that welcomes the subtle delicateness of a flower.
-« Toupie » : salt cellar and pepper pot, a playful way of decorating your table! They don’t turn… they act as they were made… they spin.
-« Kit » : candle holder and vase, the essentials to a romantic encounter.
