Au delà de l'idée

The WEGENER & MASQUIDA tandem is the symbol of drive, open dialogue, common talent, and a will to move further forward at all times. For the past 15 years, colourist and designer Ute WEGENER and interior architect Didier MASQUIDA have been “writing” stories and concepts in the field of design, achieving interior architecture and design projects in which they conjugate the words “design”, “identity”, “modernity” and “materials” with “today”… After co-founding their agency “Au-delà de l’idée” in 1990, WEGENER & MASQUIDA soon started imparting their own personal imprint to their successive projects, combining skilled know-how and cutting edge technologies. The tandem’s talent convinced many companies and brand names – Arije, Guy Ellia, Hennessy, Yohji Yamamoto, Midec, Narcisso Rodriguez, Parfums, Première Vision, and others – to give them a free hand and allow their spirit to run unrestrained. The VERONESE master glassblowers’ skills and experience were bound to attract the pair. The Nymphea mirror and Idole floor lamp were born from that collaboration, as were other contributions to special projects.
