"Pignon" means pin nut in french. It is an exceptional office designed for the new showroom of the Pinton manufacture and the Meetinside gallery. This desk born from the collaboration with Francois Passolunghi, master of rattan. These are games of shapes and colors where rattan comes to partition the cloisonné of enamels. The patterns of the collection created for the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy extend into a rattan marquetry in a free and sensual form. A disc and a candle created by craftsmen find a case, like a precious stone can be set on a piece of jewelry. These associations of materials evoke the light and colors of the South of France, like a happy holiday postcard.
