It's all about points of view and combinations; deconstructing and
multiplying to avoid getting stuck in a rut.
In 1907, the founding fathers of cubism, Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque – followed by the beacon of futurism, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti,
in 1909 – revolutionized art history, turning it into a lifestyle. While the
former represented what they saw in geometric forms to better reveal
their own reality, the latter envisioned a brutal modernity in which shapes
and colors clash within dynamic rhythms.
From these artistic movements, we understand the importance of varying
viewpoints to continually see things with a fresh eye; and having fun with
shapes and materials to make architectural movement livelier.
And so, DELABIE integrates this vision by creating products that are both
"designer" and "innovative", by shifting the lines to combine convenience,
functionality and esthetics. Viewing objects differently and thinking of
tomorrow: a philosophy which has driven the House of DELABIE for
more than 90 years.
