maison et objet 2012: hubert le gall – creator of the year

the sculptor and scenographer, hubert le gall is a french ‘decorateur’ with a poetic and functional sense. his furniture and objects defy convention with whimsy and charm. associations of unusual ideas; play with form, light and color; he works with bronze, resin and ceramics … each of his designs, from his vegetal period to his current ‘phantasmagorical bestiary’, seduces us with its sensuality and inventiveness. so it’s not shocking that they can be found everywhere, from restaurants, private homes to paris city hall’s dining room … and showcased at scènes d’intérieur, of course!
