GRILLING / FRANCOIS AZAMBOURG
Called Grillage,
The principle of creating the basic form of Grillage is very simple: a sheet of metal with offset grooves is folded, like origami, and then drawn to create a mesh. Grillage tells the story of its manufacturing process... drawing, folding, creasing. It reveals everything about itself, from how it was designed to how it was produced.
Wire mesh - metal mesh - is the way to achieve both the comfort and ergonomics of an all-metal piece of furniture. It can be covered with a special quilted material for added comfort and a warmer look.
To make the Grillage, a sheet of metal, grooved in staggered rows, is stretched. A metal wire is then welded to the outside, piece by piece. The sheet metal thus obtained is folded at different points to create the seat: this is a manual operation that makes each chair "unique". The shape of the chair will evolve over time.
