Constance Guisset
Constance Guisset founded her studio, specialised in design, interior design and scenography in 2009. Her work is characterised by a quest for a balance between ergonomics, delicacy and imagination. Each of her objects is the outcome of her ongoing exploration to represent movement with lightness or surprise, without ever compromising high levels of comfort to accommodate people and their movements. She works with many French and international furniture makers; she designs scenographies for shows and for exhibitions; and she has completed many interior design projects. Solo exhibitions dedicated to her have been held at MAD (Museum of Decorative Arts) in Paris in 2018 and Villa Noailles in south France in 2021.
In relation to her collaboration with Tectona, Constance Guisset underlines “how painstaking the finishing stage is, requiring attention to detail and a quest for elegance, from the fineness of the welds to the perfection of the assemblies”. The Chelsea sofa consists of two powder-coated aluminium modules, now in black, and pieces can be arranged as you desire, in infinite seating or intimate spaces. Sensuality emerges from the fluid continuous line outlining the entire structure. The collection is completed by two low tables formed from aluminium bases on which rests a teak tabletop.
