A graduate of the École Boulle and École Duperré in object design and textile-material-surface design, Pauline Androlus is a multidisciplinary designer. Her work reflects a strong affinity for materials and craftsmanship, whether on an artisanal or industrial scale.
With a focus on the social role of design, her approach is guided by considerations of humanity and local context, driving her to create objects that serve users and their environments. Her creations often incorporate a sensory dimension, particularly touch and sight, to evoke emotions and awaken the senses. In her pursuit of sustainability, Pauline favours a design language of simple forms, refined details, and carefully balanced compositions.
Invisible Collection and Mobilier National partner to promote contemporary creation and present limited-edition designs. Mobilier National, a major institution for contemporary creation and the promotion of French decorative arts, has been dedicated since the seventeenth century to preserving, restoring, and managing unique state-owned collections of furniture, tapestries, and decorative objects. In recent years, Mobilier National has broadened its scope by launching an annual “Campagne d’Acquisition” to support creativity and integrate contemporary designs into the national collections. These works are then exhibited in prestigious institutional buildings.
Thanks to this unprecedented partnership, a curated selection of contemporary furniture from Mobilier National’s latest Campagne d’Acquisition is now available in a limited edition.
Bichette is a leaning lamp, a nod to the pousseux used for shrimp fishing. It evokes the image of a fishing net propped against the wall after a day at the beach—a true madeleine de Proust. The unique and functional shape of this object is repurposed for a new use. Monochromatic and crafted from a single material to emphasise its clean lines, Bichette fits effortlessly into any interior, simply leaning against the wall. When lit, it casts graphic shadow patterns through the metal mesh, reminiscent of a fishing net. Situated between a floor lamp, a portable light, and a wall lamp, this unclassifiable piece plays with lighting typologies. Beyond its practical function, Bichette seeks to celebrate a piece of cultural heritage.
