Montauk en thérapie
Le numéro d’octobre 2012 du ELLE Québec présente la rentrée culturel en duos. Les paires sont quasi toutes d’un naturel né mais parfois ils nous surprennent par leur juxtaposition peu probable. C’est le cas du comédien François Papineau et de l’écrivaine Nadine Bismuth. Les deux ont travaillé de près sur la télésérie En Thérapie. Nadine aux textes et François dans le rôle du thérapeute. Par contre les deux ne se sont que rarement croisés lors du processus. Je voulais démontrer cette liaison à la fois proche et distancée qui les unis. Le choix était évident, le sofa tout capitonné de ...

Let’s Tauk Furniture
SEATING DESIGN THROUGH THE AGES Furniture, dating as far back as the Neolithic period, is a part of the human experience. Inspired by the French term “fournir”, furniture is intended to support various human activities like seating and sleeping. It is a form of decorative art and a fundamental element of our existence. Did you know… The first evidence of man-made seating sits in a preserved 3000 B.C. Neolithic Scottish village called Skara Brae. Having little access to timber, residents created dwellings as well as interior furniture from the ample supply of stone nearby. Flat-sided rocks serving ...

Diary of a flustered filmaker
We arrived at the new Montauk store in Gastown late Friday night. We had trekked in from Northern B.C. and the shock felt by the hive of activity we encountered in this stunning urban space jolted our senses. Having spent weeks cocooned in the British Columbian hinterland we were now in City mode. We maneuvered thru the chaos of construction workers, window washers, electricians, installers, caterers and staff – all in hyperdrive and jockeying for position in preparation for Saturday’s launch party. Our mission (should we accept it) was to show a film on the history and philosophy of Montauk Sofa, ...
