For 2019 PAD Paris, Carpenters Workshop Gallery is showcasing 12 pieces by Nacho Carbonell including a new table light collection as part of his “Light Mesh” series, made from glass and bronze for the first time.The display shows a diversity of cocoon-like sculptures with organic shapes that evoke surreal treelike forms and create a similar feeling and space to a botanical garden.Carbonell is renowned for questioning conventional ideas of functional product design and exploring the tension between design and art. His work has been shown around the world and is part of museum collections including Groningen Museum in Netherlands, Fonds national d’art contemporain in France, 21 21 Design Sight in Japan and MINT Museum in the US. His work has been exhibited several times at The Salon Del Mobile in Milan and will be part of Carpenters Workshop Gallery’s “Dysfunctional” exhibition in Venice this year. His studio is based in Eindhoven in the Netherlands.Carpenters Workshop Gallery transcends the notion of classism regarding art and design. It is one of the best galleries focused on Contemporary art. The gallery’s vocation is to produce and exhibit functional sculptures made by artists and designers going beyond their means of conventional expressions. The gallery represents international and emerging artists and designers, all well established. The gallery engages actively in masterpieces’ research and production exhibited in limited numbers. The selection relies on a tangible reflexion based on emotional, artistic and historic research.It was born from the friendship of Julien Lombrail and Loic Le Gaillard that decided to bring a new life to a former Carpenter’s Workshop in London’s Chelsea in 2006. After the initial success, they opened a second space in Mayfair in 2008. In 2011 the duo opened 600 sq mt. Parisian gallery in the historic district of the Marais, in a private town house, which accommodated the Galerie de France.The year 2015 hallmarked a decisive turning point for the Carpenters Workshop Gallery with the opening of Carpenters Workshop Roissy, 8000 sq. mt. space dedicated to artistic research and development, gathering the elite of arts’ craftsmen commemorating the French Art Deco heritage. The gallery is currently representing a new space in New York confirming its strong leadership and positioning itself as a major international art and design gallery.The PAD Paris 2019 will run from April 3 through April 7, 2019, at Jardin des Tuileries, Facing 234 rue de Rivoli, Opposite rue de Castiglione, 75001 Paris, France.
