By stiffening a piece of rope at certain segments, the contours of the material create volume and object. We will play with the pliability and rigidity and develop new products.Atelier OiSwiss natives Aurel Aebi (1966), Armand Louis (1966) and Patrick Reymond (1962) have run the Atelier Oi studio together since 1991. Their commissions vary between architecture, design and scenography. They pursue an interdisciplinary approach that results in new and often unforeseen means of expression. Experimentation with the material is often the starting point for their work.They have developed products for Ikea, Wogg, Swatch and B & B Italia. They hold a chair in the design department at ECAL (Lausanne Cantonal Art School) where they oversee projects that concentrate on new materials. In addition, they have been invited to lecture at numerous design schools in Switzerland and abroad. |
