salon du meuble 2002, paris
mode et maison (fashion and home)





a new form of urban nomadism in fashion and design:
if you want mobile phones, portable computers, internet and ...,
then this implies new behaviour (says the organizer of this show).

matali crasset’s showed 'in case of ',
trousers designed with multifunctional furniture in mind,
comprising movable knee supports,
storage pockets and luminous bands.

ronan and erwan bouroullec presented 'bobby ',
a reversible cotton sunhat
– one side for rain, the other for sun – .

fashion and design
the motto 'I live like I dress' or vice versa,
to keep in mind when you shop at concept stores.
the exhibition featured

a-poc (a piece of cloth)
a shop designed by ron and erwan bouroullec.
miyake's done it again with his invention
of a densely woven knit that absolutely will not run.
cut it, poke it, burn it, tear it....in fact those are the 'dos' and
not the 'don'ts' for the garments that you yourself cut from
a roll of cloth tubing.

comme des garcon red
hidden inside a quiet courtyard off the rue faubourg saint-honore,
lies the new comme des garçons boutique which opened in april.
fire-engine red fiberglass covers every surface in the store
creating an unlikely but ideal space for viewing rei kawakubo's
clothes.
designed by ab rogers, son of the architect richard rogers,
with his partner, shona kitchen, at the british-based KRD,
takao kawasaki and rei kawakubo.

joseph
opened the new boutique last september.
it was designed by christian biecher and tsumori chrisato,
with lots of glace, steel and mirrors...
