Leading French photographer, Matthieu Salvaing took on our space to premiere a personal series on African architecture. Imagined as a dialogue, he invited young designer Frédéric Imbert to showcase some of his organic pieces, curated in resonance with photographs from Ghana and Ethiopia.
Blending two universes, the exhibit delivered a contemporary vision of vernacular art & craft, where huts of the nomadic peoples of Omo Valley conversed with the composite materials of Frederic Imbert’s podiums, abstract animal forms painted on the walls of traditional Sirigu houses responded to the wood and limestone of his "tribe" seats.
