For this Présent >< Futur cycle, the Cité du design has asked each guest designer to embark on a creative adventure with a company in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region known for its industrial know-how and innovative approach. The experimentation, which takes place in situ, lasts for three to six months and results in new creative output, items which are unveiled in the exhibition and highlighted in the accompanying book.
The dach&zephir duo have thus been paired with Saint-Étienne-based company Neyret, which specialises in the manufacturing of ribbons and textile accessories. Together, they are currently working on projects combining Neyret’s inimitable know-how and the plastic and historical approach developed by the dach&zephir studio. It’s all going to be about images, woven pictures and using production offcuts, to reveal imaginary worlds and potential new channels and applications for Neyret.
