The project Grandi Bianchi is a
collaboration between Brussels-based architect Bernard Dubois and
Paris-based architects La Ville Rayée (David Apheceix, Benjamin Lafore,
Sébastien Martinez Barat).Grandi Bianchi is an ensemble of
interior devices with an inherent genetic link. An elementary storage
unit, four voids in a block, is affected to comply with types and
formats of furniture, from one scale to an other, until the limits of a
room. Logics of formal manipulation specific to digital modelling are
applied to the primitive logic of hard marble assembly, that undergoes
stretchings and constrictions. The variation in marble thicknesses
re-veals the amalgam behind the design of the object. This architectural
furniture ranges from consoles to porticos.
