Iterations
— Paris Design Week 2020

Following a successful first iteration in 2019 at the 107Rivoli, the boutique at the MAD (Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris), COLLECTIBLE took part in the 2020 edition of the Paris Design Week, this time with a larger show at the Espace Commines, situated in Le Marais in the heart of Paris. More than 20 designers were presented together in a scenography by Rotterdam-based architect Atelier Tomas Dirrix, based on the design they developed for the March 2020 edition of COLLECTIBLE in Brussels.

COLLECTIBLE called upon local design expert Kristen de la Vallière, founder of the curatorial platform, say hi to_, to host four days of design discoveries in this Parisian iteration of COLLECTIBLE Curates. Kristen liaised with visitors who wanted to learn more about the functional artists and work in the exhibition, or merely to discuss the current collectible design scene.

Scenography

The scenography for the Paris Design Week created a playful and wondrous space to be discovered - 
recalling a palace, a ruin, or a cave. In reaction to the highly unique objects in the fair, 
the scenographic design employed contrastingly simple materials. With an approach that was similar in its inventiveness
 to the crafting of a piece of furniture, Atelier Tomas Dirrix conceived an architectural space formed by adjusting and 
stacking blocks. Particular sections - surfaces to be touched - were finished with clay paste or layers of felt.

Based 
in Rotterdam and working with cultural and material notions of building, Atelier Tomas Dirrix seeks
 to create new principles of organisation, relationships and processes, and designs architectural structures
 both as spatial configurations and as constructive ideas.
