Sylvain DUBUISSON

When your last name is Dubuisson and your family heritage counts 5 generations of architects, standing out of the pack with a first name requires an independent pathway. Sylvain Dubuisson has chosen to extend his initial practice and combine architecture with design. His references to literature and signature speech about objects have earned him a reputation of being both poetic and intellectual. His motto expresses the desire to instill significance in objects.

About

His designs, because of their uniqueness, raise questions and provoke awe. In 1984, the "Much ado about nothing" lamp pictured a symbolization of love: the electrical current flows through two small gold chains and feed two capless bulbs planted in four razor blades.

His ongoing research on light seem never-ending. Sylvain Dubuisson likes to draw lamps to later be faced with the industrial manufacture of the object.

Additionally, he has been awarded the French Grand Prix National de la Création Industrielle and his work has been featured in many museums, both in France and abroad.
