Collective .1 Design Fair - Pier 57 - May 8th to May 11th, 2013
About Collective .1 DesignCollective is a new design fair in New York City that will present a cohesive, curated selection of contemporary design and historical pieces from galleries around the world. The inaugural edition, Collective .1, will coincide with Frieze New York and the May auctions and take place at Pier 57, a light-filled industrial space between the gallery hub of Chelsea and the vibrant Meatpacking District.
Collective began with a passionate group of designers, curators, collectors and gallerists, who together recognized a need for a new commercial and educational platform for the design collector and connoisseur. With the participation of approximately 25 exhibitors and the avid support of the New York creative community, Collective will present a compelling vision of design today.
About 21st twenty first GallerySince opening in New York in 2008, 21st twenty first Gallery has remained the sole contemporary limited edition furniture gallery of its kind. The gallery upholds a focus on unique and small production artworks which also function as practical possessions. 21st twenty first exhibits furniture, lighting and textiles in a range of materials by master craftsmen whose skill is made evident through the details in each design. After fifteen years in Paris’ St.Germain neighborhood, the established French furniture dealer, Renaud Vuaillat, opened his New York flagship gallery in Chelsea, in the very heart of the creative artist district. Determined to focus his discerning eye on representing only the most intriguing and important designer pieces to be found, Renaud travels the world in search of extraordinary decorative works and Objets D’Arts for display and sale to private clients and interior designers alike.
The gallery maintains a constantly rotating inventory aimed to keep a sense of freshness while never straying from the true tenets of good design and continues to offer design consultancy and advisory services to assist with creating and upholding important collections.

Federica has been living in New York for the past 21 years. In 2000 she opened FEDORA DESIGN

power to project the third dimension thus defining and creating space. The designs are influenced by earth’s topography and patterns hidden in nature both on a microscopic and
macroscopic dimension. These rugs are hand embroidered using the chain stitch technique, in India, and hand knotted in
Nepal.

the depths of the ocean, materialized by opalescent glazes which give a poetic lightness to utilitarian objects.

Saccomanno-Dayot - Yaka D’Or Armchair, 2013Gold resin, fabric Unique piece Signed and datedH 33 x L 32.5 x W 40 in (84 x 82.5 x 102 cm)
Chantal Saccomanno and Olivier Dayot invent and manufacture a strange colony of eccentric pieces of furniture. On their white,
tender skin circulate the meanders of a sophisticated style of drawing.
From chain saw to paint brush... from a piece of wood to the curved, slender chair dressed in black ink. Chantal draws a
rough image of a table or a bed and then Olivier interprets and sculpts, transforming her idea into woodwork covering it with a satinated, rich lacquer film. He produces it and afterwards
entrusts it to her elegant fingers to decorate it with her various motifs. Finally, he refines, puts the finishing touches to the piece
of furniture by adding a film of varnish. It’s a dual step, an ex-change and a music score where they both retain some of the
notes. But when they unite, they compose a complete, melodic musical phrase.
Every piece is unique.

Roland Mellan - Narcisse Mirror, 2012Wood, copper, lacquerEach uniqueD 52.36 x d 49.6 x W 6.69 in (133 x 126 x 17 cm)
Roland Mellan uses a unique, multi-step process for each of his creations. Armoring his sculptures with small sheets
of brass, copper or aluminium which are painstakingly hammered to follow the line of the wood, Mellan then begins to apply complex layers of colored lacquer. The surface is
hand polished to slowly erode through the layers, revealing a decorative carapace singular to each piece.

Mathilde Penicaud - Console, 2012 (detail)Steel, concrete Edition of 3 + 1 APH 35.5 x L 94.5 x W 19.7 in (90 x 240 x 50 cm)
Mathilde Penicaud aims to create formal languages defined by gestures, infusing strong and open conversation into her work
and playing with it to create new forms.Always beginning with steel, the element that will serve as a
guide throughout, she compliments the steel with other com-ponents that nourish the shape or relevant function to create an
overall dynamic piece.Inspired by the meaning of a material in the collective imagi-nation and fueled by its historical use in art and architecture, her furniture line made of steel and concrete is created from
the original rubber mold technique. These molds allow for the subtle convergence of materials that results from such a meth-od. The traditional use of steel as an unseen core, covered by reinforced concrete, has pushed her to expose the steel struc-ture in her work, thereby surfacing an apparent dialog between
the two parts.

Hubert le Gall - Hypnose Sconce, 2013Polished and varnished brass, LEDEdition of 25H 28.75 x L 17.75 in (72 x 45cm)
Hubert le Gall, entirely self-taught, finds inspiration in the Surrealist movement—Dali’s melting clocks, Cocteau and the arm sconces in Beauty and the Beast—and in the art of Max Ernst and elongated forms of Giacometti. His works always posses a balance in the conversation between the design
and the materials used. A sense of playfullness and frivolity pervades all of Le Gall’s furniture, but his work also manages to be sophisticated, thought-provoking and (above all) finely
crafted.

Anne, from the American northwest, has lived in France for more than 25 years. The time she worked as a costumer in San Francisco, London, and Paris – on projects for Peter Brook, or assisting Chrisitan Lacroix and other designers
– led her to discover a passion for textiles. After training at the Atelier National d’Art Textile in Paris, Anne collaborated
for many years with the Parisian Haute Couture houses (Dior, Lacroix, Chanel, Balenciaga) on exclusive textile
designs, before moving into the interior decorating field with commissions for Peter Marino and Michael Smith, among
other distinguished deocrator/architects.
Vincent grew up in the south of France, immersed in the inspiration of Greek and Gallo-Roman art and architecture. An
initial formal training with the respected French crafts guild, «les Compagnons du Devoir», and years of practicing many
parallel arts (photography, painting, music) forged his skills and his personal vocabulary. One of Vincent’s earliest and most
faithful clients is interior decorator Jacques Grange, but he has also worked with Alberto Pinto, Michael Smith, and others.

Trained as a cabinet maker, Damien Hamon has since branched out to create his own assemblage. His works are inspired by the way light hits the lines of his pieces and the
materials themselves. In 2011, 21st twenty first obtained the Barre Commode, which appears to be a dynamic stack of
white planks until one opens the drawer to expose the stark contrasting ebony within. The Barre Commode is also available
in a black lacquer finish with a light ebony interior.
