Beginning April 25, commissaires presents "Like a forest of wire", an exhibit of star designer Kwangho Lee's lighting installations - for the very first time outside South Korea.
Made of electric wire knitted and shaped by Lee, in lengths reaching more than 100 meters, these lamps are possessed of a rare poetry and, in the end, of great simplicity - enthusiastic explorations of how to make extraordinary things out of an everyday material.
They are also part of a design trend in which the focus returns to a production process emphasizing the handcrafted.
This will be a unique chance to see his creations, which range from the small to the imposing, and from very affordable to fairly costly.

With all the excitement surrounding today's digital manufacturing technologies, it is interesting to look at an earlier historical moment of workshop mass-production, as practiced by the great French architect and designer Jean Prouve (1901-1984).
This exhibition examines Prouve's collaborations within his Ateliers Jean Prouve from idea to finished product.
Equipped with a skilled creative team and the most advanced manufacturing technologies available, the Ateliers were laboratories where ideas were continuously refined and adapted to produce furnishings and prefabricated buildings on an industrial scale.
The installation focuses on the evolution of the "Standard" Chair and includes other examples of furniture and buildings that demonstrate Prouve's approach to construction and his sensitive handling of materials - particularly his inventive applications of sheet metal.
