From September 5 to October 5, 2024, in two acts from Paris Design Week to Paris Fashion Week, SINOPLE presents "Ligare", an installation between architecture, design, art and fashion.
Laurel Parker Book, Inès Bressand Studio and Miyouki Nakajima, united by their explorations and cultural cross-fertilization of natural fibers, from Japan to Ghana, present an artistic and functional panorama of innovative and contemporary uses for washi paper, silk and an African grass.
The materials they discovered during their residencies, or the fiber processing techniques they learned on their own, enable them to ennoble and give form to a simple material. The result is atypical, contemporary productions that take a fresh look at traditional know-how. Fiber becomes the link between ancestral and hybrid practices, between the cultures from which they originate and those of these creators. Paper becomes a surface or volume for architecture, grass becomes furniture or fashion accessories, while silk becomes sculpture or abstract composition. In this ensemble, light and shadow compose with the reflections and lines of the materials.
