Smooth | FLORENT DEGOURC

“Florent Degourc is an exciting creative talent working with new forms and pushing the boundaries of established rules. His Smooth piece create a visual and emotional feast and encourage us to journey back to our youth; the spilt drinks of our childhood mealtimes and picnics are celebrated rather than punished as the liquid surfaces of Florent's furniture appears to spread, drip, envelop and solidify. A trend for deformed, melting and distorted products is emerging and these qualities are being explored by several new and established designers. Florent’s work stands out however because unlike most other designers pieces Florent’s work is not dark or disturbing. It is knowingly playful and welcomes the viewer to step closer, touch and connect with the piece. Florent’s work is full of joy! Scarlet Opus are proud to have been granted permission by Florent Degourc to include his Smooth piece in our latest trend forecasting report and in our trend seminar presentations around the world.” Victoria Redshaw – Trend Forecaster at Scarlet Opus www.scarletopus.com"
