« Le design n’est jamais qu’une scénographie, une manière de matérialiser une certaine idée de l’univers, une façon de créer un nouveau territoire imaginaire comme le font un scénario cinématographique, une ambiance quelle qu’elle soit.
Dans notre société postindustrielle qui dispose de tous les systèmes de transformation et de communication, l’unique territoire sur lequel l’homme a encore la liberté d’intervenir, c’est la fantaisie, l’imaginaire, la narration. »
Andrea Branzi, dans la revue Architecture intérieure - Créé, Juin-Juillet 1988, p. 12‑13
Inspired by the words of Andrea Branzi, we believe that designers have a role to play in reinventing the world. To design is a way for us to question and reconsider established customs and ways of living.
Both graduated from École Boulle and ENSCI-Les ateliers, we founded our studio poirier bailay in 2018, working at the interface of product, textile and interior design. Through our projects, we aim to question our lifestyles as well as our production models.
Aesthetic research plays an important role in our work. It is a way for us to blur the boundaries between practices (design, sculpture, craftmanship, illustration…) and to explore subjects that intrigue us, such as everyday poetry, strangeness in objects as well as the edge between fiction and reality.
