The light, forgiving looks of Christophe Pillet A600 Series for Maiori are an account of design best practises. Created for the outdoors and with vocation for the indoor, this playful series of tables and seating are set to become a contemporary classic. The idea of capturing the charismatic substance of the French back garden in a timeless proposal sets the mood for the A600 series, an idea crystalized in the petite, forgiving looks of Christophe Pillet’s conception that is an account of design best practises and a dialogue of contrasts.
A600 Series is conceived with the garden in mind, it performs swiftly indoors. The proportions used, its cleanness, flair, and the contemporaneous of its lines makes it impeccable for use in indoor spaces.
The lucidity of expression and the search for simplicity are the key principles: in the work of Christophe Pillet, the elegance is optimized. Pillet’s perfect command of sensuality and refinement has made him one of the rare French designers who has gained global recognition designing hotels, boutiques and directing artistic projects in the USA, Great-Britain and Japan. He has won international acclaim for the spectrum and quality of his creations. Architecture, objects, furniture, artistic direction, his signature is invariably associated with the finest brands: Lacoste, Jean-Claude Jitrois, Maiori, Catherine Malandrino, Lancel, Le Tannneur International…
The scope and the variety of his projects share a common attitude, independent of scale. Whether it be as design director for Lacoste, or in long-term collaborations with Maiori, Driade, Cappellini, Emu, Porro or Serralunga his considered interpretations are a testament to high-voltage chic, distinguished both by its precision and rigour. If a “Pillet style” exists, it is in his ability to crystallize, within a project, the excitement of a proposition.
