Excerpt: Exhibition
A New Independent Design Label Launches in the South of France
The tiny town of Hyères in the South of France is only 50 square miles, but has long had an outsized presence on the contemporary design map as the home of the arts foundation Villa Noailles and its annual Design Parade festival. The festival was canceled this year due to the pandemic — more on that next week! — but two young Parisians have managed to fill in the gap with an exhibition called Été Super, which is serving as the launch of their independent design brand 13Desserts and its permanent showroom in a former Hyères skate shop. Co-curated by the fashion magazine Temple, the exhibition pairs pieces from the fledgling line, like a zig-zaggy chair by Fredrik Paulsen and a two-tier steel and stone table designed by 13Desserts co-founder Clément Rougelot, with other works by young talents that together are meant to evoke “a modern interpretation of the French Riviera.” If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in the area this summer, the show is open until September 5, after which the space will revert to 13Desserts’s showroom.
