The LA-based interior design brand Atelier de Troupe presents its atmospheric new collection of lighting and furniture, drawn from drifting tides and the long shadows of the solstice.
Dérive d’Été is an exploration of movement and coastal cool. Through a repeated ellipse motif and a material language by turns warm and rarefied — a single sheet of brass, spiralled steel, sandblasted glass — the collection evokes nostalgia for childhood summers spent between the rocks of Cassis and the beaches of St. Tropez.
Atelier de Troupe founder Gabriel Abraham’s background in the film industry informs his narrative approach to the design process. Reminiscent of the 70s, but firmly rooted in a contemporary design vernacular, the collection incites a dialogue between temporality and artifice.
