In addition to her own collections, Anne Xiradakis is developing a new category of tableware with chefs such as Guy Savoy, Inaki Aizpitarte, and Jacques Decoret and for companies such as Arc International and Bernardaud. Anne Xiradakis is interested in the interactions between the container and its contents, and the fact of experiencing the manufacturing actions through an object.
Since 2006, her objects have featured at pop-up events (‘Cafés éphémères’, ‘Installations gourmandes’, and ‘Dîners décalés’. In parallel, she teaches at ENSA Limoges and the Camondo interior design and architecture school in Paris.
Invisible Collection and Mobilier national partner to promote contemporary creation and present limited-edition designs. Mobilier national is a major institution for contemporary creation and the promotion of French decorative arts, whose mission has been to ensure, since the seventeenth century, the conservation and restoration of unique collections in the world. Mobilier national has broadened its scope by launching an annual “Campagne d’Acquisition” to support creativity and to integrate these pieces into the national collections. These works are then exhibited in institutional buildings. Thanks to this unprecedented partnership, a selection of contemporary furniture revealed by the Mobilier national’s 2021 “Campagne d’Acquisition” is available for purchase: Collectors will be able to acquire furniture that has been included in the official collections, and is available in limited edition on Invisible Collection.
For Procédés Chenel, the designer’s imagination switches to a different track with the Boucle console table, a piece of hallway furniture with a colorful composition, weaving Drop Paper on a Drop Cake structure. The Drop Paper adapts to the colors of the Drop Cake, which is made of production scraps. These colors therefore vary according to the scraps that are available. The interweaving of the materials emphasizes the perfect drop and the tension of the loops. The Boucle console table is a joyfully colorful piece of furniture, a play of weaving between two materials, Drop Paper and Drop Cake.
