Description
In his multiple and varied interventions - Architect, furniture and industrial design, trade mark development (Christofle, Giobagnara), Stephane Parmentier cultivates "the paradox" as a method : brutalist but sophisticated, convivial minimalism, "looking for a new equilibrium", admits this aviation enthusiast, who's references can be found in Japanese aesthetics, or the purist simplicity of the italian Puglia region.
