Philippe Tabet
Philippe Tabet is a product
designer from Versailles
(France), based in Milan
(Italy). He created in
2013 his own studio, his
multidisciplinary practice
offers a wide range of
services , ranging from
furniture to electronic
design. In 2014 Tabet took
part to Infiniti De-Contest
and won with its project
“Ruelle”, that today is one
of the main products of
our Chairs Collection.
“Design for me is an
ensemble of elements.
When I was a kid, I used to
draw characters, objects,
shapes, a bit like I do
today. The difference,
however, is that when I
draw an object today, I
think immediately to its
material, to its production
process or to its function.
For example two simple
wood layers glued
together give birth to an
object in volume: this is
also the starting point
of the Ruelle chair.” My
challenge in this case has
been to make the union
of these two materials
as much harmonious as
possible, as the union
between technique and
drawing.
