DESIGN >>> Portrait de Matt Gagnon
Matt Gagnon a établi son studio en 2002 pour poursuivre une large pratique de conception d’objet design. Il a une relation symbiotique entre le travail développé dans l’atelier du studio et les services qu’ils proposent à ses clients.
Les éditions limitées produites par le studio fournissent une compréhension intime des propriétés du matérielles et des méthodes de fabrication, incluant ainsi la conception d’un projet dans l’expérience pratique. Indépendamment de la création de l’objet, le studio a pour but de produire un travail qui dépasse la fonction et excède les espérances, en considérant les coûts économiques et environnementaux.
Matt Gagnon established his studio in 2002 to pursue a broad design practice. Trained as an architect at Cornell University, he has sought to integrate client based design services with speculative making. There is a symbiotic relationship between the work developed within the workshop of the studio and the services we provide for clients. The limited editions produced by the studio provide an intimate understanding of material properties and fabrication methods, grounding a project’s conceptual interest in practical experience. Regardless of the project scope, scale or type, the studio is careful to develop the experiential as well as the programmatic requirements of a project, with a goal to produce work that transcends function and exceeds expectations, while considering the economical and environmental costs.
Matt has worked with a variety of companies such as Gehry Partners, Meyer & Gifford Architects, Gaetano Pesce and has done projects for M&C Saatchi, Ogilvy+Mather, W Resort (Maldives), Fritz Welch, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts (Seattle) and Ann Taylor, just to name a few.
Matt has also taken part in various lectures, discussions and has been a visiting designer at Savannah College of Art and Design. More recently, Matt has been involved with several group shows such as The Drop, NY Local and Threaded in New York and Brooklyn (where he is based).
