"In Conversation: Patrick Jouin" Artist Talk
Museum of Arts & Design
This event has ended.
International phenom designer Patrick Jouin will discuss the hidden process and techniques behind his groundbreaking work. Jouin’s design takes a prominent position at MAD in the exhibition "Patrick Jouin: Design and Gesture."
A protégé of Philippe Starck, Jouin established his own studio in 1999. Since then, the Paris-based designer’s career ascent has been meteoric, with projects spanning quite literally from the spoon— Zermatt flatware for Puiforcat— to the city— street furniture for Paris, including a self-cleaning lavatory. His technical wizardry has made him a master of material transformation, as perhaps best exemplified by his revolutionary 2005 Solid polyurethane and resin chair series, produced through stereolithography (3-D rapid prototyping).
