Galerie Negropontes Unveils Its 2017 ‘Synthesis’ Collection
Galerie Negropontes recently unveiled its “Synthesis” collection, which will be on display at the upcoming Salon Art + Design fair in New York.Designer Hervé Langlais has used exceptional and precious material to create this brand new collection, which has a sculptural feel. The “Gaia” console and “Satellite” pedestal tables feature charred wood and polished brass. Royal ebony is used for the Plumage cabinet, which bears resemblance to ink drawings from India. The interiors of the cabinet are designed as a contrast with lacquered drawers in deep red. The palm and lacquer frame of the “Kaleidoscope” mirror takes inspiration from the Art Deco movement while its geometric shape evokes Mondrian. The inbuilt champagne cooler in the “Constellation” coffee table recalls the secret cabinets of the seventeenth century.Galerie Negropontes collaborates with artists and designers, especially those who are associated with the Decorative Arts. For this collection, Hervé Langlais gets together with Perrin & Perrin and Eric de Dormäel to create exceptional design works such as glasswork in a brass setting, or graphic networks proliferating as sculptures – echoing the gallery’s vision to modernize Decorative Arts. At the upcoming fair, the gallery will also present photographer Dan Er. Grigorescu’s prints from the 1960s.Galerie Negropontes is among the 55 galleries invited by the Salon Art + Design, which will be held in November in New York.
