NATURE AS A MODEL FOR DESIGN

In his childhood, Fabrice Ausset spent a lot of time observing nature, the rocks carved and sculpted by the water in the Gardon Valley, between Nîmes and Uzès, discovering caves, "marmites", prehistoric stones...

"I was raised in the Nature and I am particularly sensitive to it. Already as a child, I collected elements of nature: animal skeletons, pebbles, rocks, pieces of wood... I collected them or combined them to create artifacts.”

Fabrice Ausset has become a DPLG architect, interior designer, designer and scenographer, and has integrated his sensitivity to Nature into all his projects: hotels, private apartments, castles, chalets, or even furniture, unique pieces...

The novelty is that he now combines this Nature,

these primitive elements close to the origin, archaic, with technological advances, digital or artificially intelligent. A new relationship with nature brought by digital tools, robotics, a new way of working and associating ideas, concepts, materials that might not go together at first glance.

"The openness and access to these new tools is an incredible and infinite wealth. These new cultural and technological elements allow us to see the world differently and to invent new ways of writing. An intelligence of combinations that gives all of Fabrice Ausset's creations - both movable and immovable - an innovative and visionary dimension." Only he who perceives in the most modern and recent things, the clues or the signature of archaism can be a contemporary.

These words of the philosopher Giorgio Agamben illuminate the unique, tailor-made and contemporary stories that Fabrice Ausset invents.

Leaves, plants, trees, pieces of wood, rhizomes, rockery are transformed into carpets, lamp posts, armchairs, poufs which, assembled, form organic universes: a perfect alliance between archaic and soft extravagance; a transcendence of nature where the contemporary artifact comes to bring its humble contribution for a necessary reconnection to our emotions.

By surveying Nature, Fabrice Ausset allows us to walk in the Sense and the senses.
