CONST > the main idea behind the desk lamp CONST are three basic components; base, body and shade. Keeping in mind these simple elements and their role, Theerachai playfully combines expression with function.

Design Democracy – From Cappellini to McDonalds – Patrick Norguet doesn’t discriminate. McDonalds hires one of Frances top creatives, Patrick Norguet to design an outdoor collection. In collaboration with the producer Alias and the fast-food giant McDonald’s, designer Patrick Norguet has designed a line of outdoor furniture as part of McDonald’s “Come” project. The furniture collection will equip terraces and outdoor spaces McDonald’s worldwide. [ patrick norguet ] [ alias ]

The design solution responds to the ‘COME’ objectives – to design, engineer, develop and install a specific turnkey modular furniture system. The collection consists of 28 pieces made of steel, hand-sanded concrete and Corian tables, chairs, benches, lamps, planters, litter bins and screen. The introduction of the collection will be in Bordeaux and northern France.

Patrick Norguet says:

“For this project, like each of my projects, I wanted to give great attention to the final use. Draw a quality space that fits into the time that meets the demands and requirements specific to McDonald’s. Not all completely outside or completely inside the terrace is experienced as an extension of the restaurant, a separate space for a different experience. It is also a major project for me because we were able to connect two worlds around the project, and thus develop products of high quality. The association with Alias, I was able to reach the level of demand that I wanted for this set consists of 28 objects. A family of tables, chairs, low chairs, lamps, planters, benches, litter bins and screen.”

“I’m lovin it.”
