Icônes

Beautiful photographic work realized for the decoration and furnishing of Lhotel, affiliated with the Lausanne Palace by designers Laetitia Florin and Dimitri Bähler. The brief was to reuse/modify the old pieces of furniture of the Palace, currently amassed in big storerooms.

Instead of using these old elements to make new objects, they decided to magnify the beauty of all the spare parts. The forgotten scraps became iconic.

As they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas - but what if we could share with full discretion? Confessions by one of my favorite artists Candy Chang is a public art project that invites people to anonymously share their confessions and see the confessions of the people around them in the heart of the Las Vegas strip. Via Lustik.
