Artibat signs a second opus “NoWaste” in partnership with Jérôme Boissière

After the first achievements signed by the forty students of the Nantes-Atlantique School of Design who gave free rein to their creativity to design 7 projects from non-reusable materials for construction and offered by patron partners*, Artibat wanted to continue and strengthen its initiative in favor of recovery, recycling and reuse.

Some materials not having had the opportunity to be used in the designs carried out by the students, Artibat wished, for this second opus, to solicit the creativity of a professional designer to take up this new challenge.

Inspired in particular by his work on the city of tomorrow, a resilient, sustainable and permeable city, as well as by the creativity of Jérôme Boissière, the management of the Artibat show thus submitted to him the challenge of designing a second life for the materials left behind. account by construction (over-stocks, non-reusable waste, such as wood, floor coverings, glass, PVC pipes, or even sun protection fabrics, etc.). A challenge that he took up with enthusiasm!

After the specific inventory of the remaining materials to be used for the second NoWaste chapter of ARTIBAT (small metal grids, front grids, corner borders, straight borders, various tubes, plywood plates, Plexiglas, a stainless steel sink, etc.), Jérôme Boissière was able to start the research, 3D modeling and validation phase in May before starting the actual manufacturing phase in June.

These scale 1 creations, which he plans to finalize in September, will of course, like the student creations, be presented at the Artibat fair next October. To reveal just one in preview: let's mention a lamp made from a stainless steel sink and a base in copper and wood tube.

Originally from Nantes, Jérôme Boissière, a graduate of the Nantes-Atlantique design school, runs his own design studio based in Aix en Provence. This entity has specialized for several years in the design of urban development and the realization of projects related to the environment with, as a highlight, a multi-disciplinary expertise allowing it to ensure all the phases of the project (from the specifications from loads to manufacturing via 3D visualization and then a 3D model).

Manufacturers, start-ups and communities are not mistaken and regularly call on the services of Jérôme Boissière's studio for the creation of garden furniture, landscaping and urban spaces or safety infrastructure dedicated to mobility. gentle…

This is why the organizers of the Artibat Show gave him carte blanche to imagine projects driven by this expertise.

Since his early childhood, Jérôme Boissière has been driven by the No Waste fiber, as he likes to recall: "I cut my teeth from a young age by tinkering with what was lying around in the garage, by transforming wine boxes into birdhouses, kitchen furniture in aviaries, etc…

For a few years I have been painting on vinyl, I make paintings with frames and canvases that I hunt for... This No Waste theme is really an approach that I have always taken, so I take this project for the future to heart”.
