The aim of this contest was: "Emotion and simplicity".
These sun eyeglasses are created for women.
Made of a piece of polycarbonate molded on elastic metal thread, these are typically a feminine accessory which can become a bracelet.
Emotion and simplicity everyday and anywhere...

'Stem' for Cinna

The clean lines and basic forms of these tables and storage units appeared in 2007. Jourdan describes them as being 'Silent as a yacht's shell cutting water stem to stern'

Urban structure, Saint-Etienne station

Jourdan fans and connoisseurs will see in this fence-gate structure a logical follow-on to the designer's experiments in furniture-architecture, in particular the 'Traversants' set shown at the Peyroulet gallery in the year 2000: a series of free-standing partition pieces to mark separation in space as well as passage to another room.

It is a large openwork screen that fills two functions: channel and admit. Commenting on it, Jourdan says: 'The structure is there without being there: people have to be able to pass thru it and also feel its presence wherever they happen to be on the train station forecourt. There is also a reference to modernism in the definition of an open plan space, in the spirit of Mies van der Rohe'.

Since 2002, Obdesigner offers recurring news of design expressions. Through several free tools, the portal proposes a variety of services such as a business directory, a visual gallery dedicated to design products, a calendar, a forum...
It also allows users to post or consult ads.

Obdesigner launches an english version
available at: http://www.obdesigner.net/blog/ so as to share its news with a larger audience.

SoPod is a piece of office furniture designed to stimulate socialising in the office. It creates a perfect space for important meetings, dinner breaks and general usage. When huddled together in its compact form, its high back creates a feeling of closure from the outside world and allows privacy and relaxation. The organic form and colour also make the space in which it sits become more enticing and vibrant!!!

The Tree Chair is designed for a public space, such as a restaurant/bar, and allows the user to hang their possesions on the hat, bag and jacket branches. Its made from recycled plastic. This chair can obvously come in a range of patterns, finishes and colours!!!

The L2 Chair is a piece designed for the home and office and is a take on the 'Tub Chair'. It has a two tone finish that allows the consumer to pick any combination they chose so that it suits its surroundings.
