Description

If Patrick Jouin has renewed the image of Paris, with the Vélib' stations and restaurants in the Eiffel Tower, his commissions have also led him to the four corners of the Earth : Las Vegas, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur... Gradually, through successive propagations, by amplification and reduction, he has ended up investing in experience itself, even creating a clock that blurs time. For Jouin, the design of objects and spaces doubles as research, offering contextual studies of cost and fabrication constraints and ultimately converging with the work of engineers, experts, artists and industrials. Richly illustrated, this catalogue not only gives access to the archives of the Agence Patrick Jouin, but it also demonstrates through more than fifty projects this contemporary creator's freedom to think, share and imagine, as a designer, set designer and interior architect all at once.
