Nemo, Designers - Chapter 1: Drawings

Signé is delighted to present Nemo, Designers, a two-part exhibition series showcasing the work of the French design duo.Comprising Alain Domingo and François Scali, active since 1982, Nemo played a significant role in the design scene of that decade. Spanning furniture, objects, interior architecture, artistic direction, and graphic design, the duo navigated this era of creative fervor as true adventurers, exploring uncharted territories while contributing to the definition of the designer's role.Focused on the medium of paper, this first chapter will unveil their extensive use of drawing. By uniquely showcasing a selection of sketches, manufacturing plans, and drawings, Signé aims to allow visitors to grasp the dynamic thinking of the duo by exploring their various modes of representation.The exhibition Nemo, Designers, through works on paper accompanied by prototypes and unique pieces, will provide insight into the diverse realms explored by the duo, the crystallization processes inherent in the designer's practice, all while sharing the energy of the eighties.The second chapter, scheduled for March 2025, will focus on bringing to life a series of furniture pieces extracted from archival drawings. These entirely original pieces will be produced in very limited quantities.
