The Not As Planned series is a series of sculptures and functional objects made up of scraps, found objects, and samples that did not have the destiny they hoped for.
Questioning the relationship between the value of the material and the aesthetic value of the object. The place of industrial materials in our aesthetic reference and at the other end of the prism, the place of losses in craftsmanship.
It is also a creative exercise outside the usual social framework of design:
By not drawing on materials associated with an identity and a social power other than one’s own, by agreeing to nourish oneself in the reality of one’s immediate social and material environment, that of medium-sized towns, commercial areas, flea markets – the designer once again becomes an explorer who dares to face reality.
The existence of a material and non-aesthetic domination of a “noble” design finally becomes visible and tangible, and this is opposed by another design, a raw, real, radical, chaotic and free design.
Within the framework defined by this new design, the designer faces his own origins without cannibalizing them, and accepts his story, even if this one does not go as planned either.
Functional. Some pieces have deliberately not been permanently assembled. Some pieces are kept rough or unfinished for aesthetical purpose.
