If recycling is at the core of the work of the GGSV duo, Gaëlle Gabillet and Stéphane Villard, since the creation of their studio, they propose to teach it during this workshop dedicated to the aesthetics of recycling, addressing the industry’s challenges in the face of pollution.
By the end of the training, the participant will have assimilated:
• Acquisition of knowledge related to the concepts of recycling, reuse and upcycling
• Raising awareness of the actions of key players in the industry and the circular economy market
• Introduction to the identification of raw material deposits
• Raising awareness of the qualification of deposits (availability and transformation potential)
• Ability to implement an æsthetic of transformation
• Ability to create collectively
Sustainable beauty, æsthetics and recycling
Discover this training dedicated to “new strategies and aesthetics of recycling”, an experience combining theory and practice, while placing the participant at the heart of the action.
This training will initially focus on the acquisition of knowledge related to the recycling and upcycling process by promoting synergies between different sectors. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the actions of key players in the industry and the circular economy market, by identifying reserves of raw materials, semi-finished products and products in the process of recycling. Several conferences, at the heart of the MaNa campus, will be organized around these themes.
Secondly, guided by Gaëlle Gabillet and Stéphane Villard from Studio GGSV, this training will be a practical experience during which participants, working in teams, will design and create prototypes of furniture and objects from deposits of materials to recycle. They will be invited to manipulate the material to consider different aesthetics of transformation. To do this, they will benefit from the expertise of Studio GGSV and a specialized craftsman to create pieces combining know-how, new aesthetics and recycling
Gaëlle Gabillet and Stéphane Villard joined forces within Studio GGSV in 2011, after having collaborated on “{Objet} Trou Noir”, a manifesto project winning the 2011 VIA Carte blanche, which joined the permanent collection of the Center Pompidou in 2017 . Highly noted, their project responded to the principles of eco-design through the recovery of waste, the decomposition of manufactured products and the despecialization of objects.
Since then, they have developed a multidisciplinary practice, ranging from exhibition curating to object design, from scenography to interior architecture. The first French designers to collaborate with Gufram, they presented large-format rugs inspired by the disco years in Milan in 2018. The same year, for the 40th anniversary of the Center Pompidou, they imagined “Galerie Party”, a unique event for the Children’s Gallery.
In 2019, returning from their residence in the prestigious Villa Médicis, they signed with the architects h2o the redevelopment of the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris for which “ghost furniture” was imagined, which fades to leave their full place in the works.
In 2021, 19M entrusted them with the complete layout of “La Galerie”, for which they designed all the furniture, playing with different exceptional craftsmanship to innovate on finishes, shapes and materials.
