STUDIO NOCC

Juan Pablo Naranjo (born 1981) and Jean-Christophe Orthlieb (born 1982) established NOCC in 2008. Their collaboration is a permanent dialogue guided by a shared scientific mind and conceptual vision. NOCC try not to take an object for granted and focus on adding different layers of understanding by playing with archetypal codes in a poetic yet useful way. In 2008 they presented «Statif» at the Stockholm furniture fair and «Help Me Darwin» at the European Talent exhibition in Eindhoven and «Observeur du design 10» in Paris which brought them their first media attention. In 2009 NOCC developed «Object Of Sound» for Self studio which consists of a collection of objects whose forms are generated by the shape of the soundwaves recorded when the names of each object is pro- nounced. For «Talent à la carte» during Maison&Objet January 2010 they introduced the «Radiation Collection» which is now produced in limited editions of 8 pieces each by the Parisian Galery S. Bensimon. NOCC has been awarded Humanitech’s 2010 first prize for a cardboard bed intended for humanitarian emergencies, developed for the company Leaf supply. Other projects include participation in an installation for Quicksilver’s 40th year anniversary at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2009 or at the Demolition Party of the Royal Monceau hotel in 2008 as part of their accomplishments.Actual design projects consist of objects developed for companies such as Swarovsky, RATP, Case Scenario, Guzzini... They have been invited to exhibit their work in Milan during the design fair of 2011.
