Trait d'union | Mélanie Husson

This project, shown at Now le off ! 2013, is a project about the assembly, regular concept in designer's work. But generally, assembly is a technical question, something you want to hide. That's why I searched how the assembly can draw objects. How assembly can contribute to the design of an object in its identity and its mechanical properties? The sealing is an assembly that I choose to invest. It uses a material which changes from a liquid state to a solid state. This change of state allows, during hardening, to maintain elements together in a sustainable manner. This assembly technique is very present in architecture. I wonder how I can reinvest it in the object. I choose the duo paper/concrete. The sealing of this two materials provides structural qualities, reversing usual strength relations : paper maintains concrete. I choose to invest this research in the design of a table.
