In complementary ways, Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier oppose and attract one another. They clash, to better reconcile. Of these disagreements comes a rich and inspired creative dialogue: involved in a mental ping-pong, the pair shapes its ideas. If wood species and pure lines are Patrick Gilles’s language, Dorothée plays with colors, spatial fluidity and an innate elegance to brighten spaces up. As a couple they write a partition where each uses his own role and stylistic influences to make a whole.
In collaboration with Maison Pouenat, Gilles & Boissier give voice to metal, which expresses itself, twists, coils, folds and stretches, like an animal, it lives. The skin and its reverse side are not alike, to play even better with backlighting and lighting effects.
