Glass objects design – Sophia Taillet
Sophia Taillet is a designer, graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Arts DĂ©coratifs de Paris and S.V.A New York, USA. She focuses on the exploration of matter as a trigger of imagination and apprehends her objects as sculptures in order to be guided by her intuitions and to integrate a large part of her experiences. From steel to glass, her collections seek to reveal the intrinsic properties of the material.
Sophia Taillet has created a series of suspended furniture for the Palais de Tokyo called « Le Temps Suspendu » (Suspended Time), and her Helik light in flexible steel is being exhibited at the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2018.
Thanks to the Frac d’Auvergne, in 2019 she obtained a 6-month residency in a glass center in Yzeure, France. In total immersion, she creates a collection of glass furniture. A balance between organic form and the play of light, this collection was exhibited at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven and recently at the Collectible Fair in Brussels. Sophia Taillet recently developed her work on a spatial scale, through scenography. She obtained the call for projects for the scenography of the Via Gallery in Bastille, Paris (France) with her concept of spatial flexibility through the use of hanging textiles, a space inaugurated in February 2020.
