Alki Stand for Maison&Objet

Alki participated in the Maison&Objet fair, which this year had been postponed for two months due to the Covid situation.

We designed its stand by taking into account its future once the trade fair is over. The staging décor created for this type of event is all too often for single use only. We have always been struck by these entire towns that are set up for just a few days during the trade fair and the quantity of material that finishes in the skip!

So we decided to construct the stand by using our new Zuzulu space layout system and not resort to a more elaborate support / décor just for the occasion. This approach will be extended to upcoming international trade fairs, namely Milan in June and Cologne in October.

Two new collections unveiled in Maison&Objet

Next week, we’ll unveil two new collections for Alki during the Maison&Objet Fair. Keep tuned!

Kuskoa Bi for Alki

Kuskoa Bi Metal Design Iratzoki Lizaso

Five years after the creation of the Kuskoa Bi collection designed for Alki, our studio developed a lightweight version of the bioplastic chair. A delicate metallic base comes to support the envelopping shell. For this, it was necessary to develop a specific tool for this structure to perfectly fit the shell of the chair. Bronze and oxide finishes have been added to the existing color palette to give a touch of elegance to the set.

Stands Design Review

We haven’t had the occasion to design many stands or attend many design fairs in the past year. Hoping for these events to be possible again, here’s a review of some of the stands we’ve designed lately.

Alki x Ober Surfaces

Alki OberSurfaces Iratzoki Lizaso

We recently help design the scenography for an event sealing a collaboration between Alki and OberSurfaces in Saint-Ouen, near Paris.

The idea was to divide the old Marotte workshop into different spaces showcasing Alki’s Alki’s latest collections and OberSurfaces materials.

Alki Stand Design in Milan

For Alki’s presence at the Salone del Mobile in Milan we were given the assigment to design a stand with a strong statement. It was a first time for Alki as a solo show at this event and it was a good opportunity to show Alki’s universe in a somewhat different way. The location next to big brands in a new space called S.Project, at Hall 22 was the perfect occasion for that.

To feature our Lan office chair, that we launched at this occasion, we wanted to show a warm and cozy work environment. That brought us to the thinking that our own work environment, the log cabin/studio, could indeed be “transported” to the fair. It was a gesture to our beloved work space, where we’ve designed the Lan chair, a chair directed to casual work environments.

The chairs were around two Heldu office tables. We also brought a bunch of accessories to decorate the interior of the cabin direct from our cabin. We even carried the real wood-burner of the studio.

Sokoa + Gabriel

Last week attended the event that Sokoa and Gabriel held in Gabriel’s Paris showroom, in beautiful Place de Valois . It showed the collaboration between these two brands and served as the presentation of a new member of the KLIK collection, the brand new tables. Great ambience, so great job to both!
