The starting point of ths project is based on an approach of local development, and rediscovery of know-how related to woodworking.
At a time when it calls into question the way we consume products, which is now facing new environmental requirements. It seems necessary to rediscover oldest solutions to build the tomorrow’s methods and rethink uour whole system of production and consumption. This is about « rethinking local economy » for the post-green society.
Here I am interested in furniture, in order to rewrite the image of the « robust » furniture of our grandparents, their stuff have become transgenerational, and a guarentee of sustainability. I opted for a eco-design approach.
Tracy consists of a steel base, recovered from an old tractor and a pinewood structure. Tracy was entirely think « local », since the source of wood, sitting, manufacture and has been completly conceived in the heart of France. Each element is not than one hours drive from the assembly area.
Tracy, a social object. The rocking chair conveys an idea of comfort, counrtyside, a moment passed quietly. It is for this reason that tracy was designer this way, it inspires confidence. This chair is an example of what could be the future of furniture, and how we will « consume » the objects with High durability.
