If Renée Gravel and Jean Ayotte were made
of metal, their partnership would form an unprecedented alloy. One has threefold
training in design, interior architecture and visual art, and the other has
a background in literature: together, they generate a highly original creative
process.
Furniture by The Non-Useless Furniture Studio derives
first and foremost from function—an invented function not corresponding
with any existing furniture but responding wittily to a specific need not
yet filled.
This collection presents
furniture whose dimensions and forms make it adaptable to any decor. In
addition, they are accompanied by specially designed outfits, which can
be changed at will to fully integrate the furniture into its environment—or
give it a new personality.
These pieces are not for the timid: place one in your environment and it will be a sure topic of conversation
for you and your fascinated guests!
