Following on from his Petite Gigue three-legged chair, François Azambourg has designed a new four-legged chair and an armchair, also based on the so-called 'hard chine' shipbuilding principle. Adopting this method, normally used on light dinghies, has made creating this amazing collection a cross between cabinetmaking and shipbuilding. Produced by Moustache, the Gavotte armchair and the Petite Gigue and Quadrille chairs have a light and airy shape, offering great stability despite their apparent fragility. Elected Creator of the Year 2009 at the Maison & Objet trade show, designer François Azambourg once again demonstrates his ability to surprise with unexpected shapes and techniques.
A producer of unusual, bold and innovative furniture, Moustache was founded by Stéphane Arriuberge and Massimiliano Iorio.
The Moustache collection explores new avenues of production and consumption. It brings a humorous touch to all household furniture, both in terms of the product names and their forms. Particularly memorable in this sense are the Micro coat hooks for kids' rooms designed by design trio Big-Game, which give a nod to journalists' microphones, as well as the Vapeur pendant and table lamps designed by Inga Sempé.
