SCADstyle Lecture [Atlanta], May 1
SCAD Style Event: “Hospitality, Empathy, Generosity, Technology”
Lecture by Matali Crasset at SCAD-Atlanta
Matali Crasset is an industrial designer based in France. She graduated from the Ateliers Ecole Nationale Superieure de Creation Industrielle. Her work centers on the development of new typologies based on modularity, appropriation, flexibility and network. She denies pure shape, conceiving work that is like “a research in movemenet, made of hypotheses more than of principals.”
A five-year experience in working with Philippe Starck, a star of the Design world, strongly influenced Matali. She took over his ability to change over from one project to the other without remaining focused on a single field. Their cooperation climaxed in a prize, the Grand Prix of Design of the City of Paris in 1997, which they were jointly awarded. After Philippe Starck had left Thomson, Matali Crasset established a studio of her own in 1998.
She moves across the world of design from industrial and graphic design through to stage design and interior architecture. In so doing, she enjoys herself. She plays. She researches on living space turning it into a mobile environment for poetic experimenting."
When: Thursday, May 1, 2008, 2:00 PM (EDT)
Where: SCAD-Atlanta, 1600 Peachtree St., Room 256 (Atlanta,GA)
