Frondesco - textile canopy | Statue design studio

Traditional materials used in sophisticated ways characterize Frondesco by Statue (Louise de Saint-Angel & Romain Guillet), a wall-mounted textile canopy that works like a folding drape to enable the creation of a private sub-space within a room. Each side of the canopy is made of two thicknesses of woven cotton, which confer qualities that are not only decorative but also sound insulating. “Frondesco” is a colourful and eye-catching canopy created by Statue, a French studio composed by interior architect and scenographer  Louise de Saint-Angel and Romain Guillet. In Latin, “Frondesco” means covered with leaves, which in effect gives the idea behind their creation. This woven textile is hung to the wall to create a cosy private sub-space in the room, giving the ambience a colourful 3D decoration as well as providing acoustic insulation. When not needed, it can easily be folded flat against the wall thanks to its wooden bracket arm that swings horizontally. As part of VIA Design 2013, a non-profit association that promotes contemporary design in France and abroad, “Frondesco” by Statue was exhibited at Maison & Objet in January 2013.
