Presenting a new solo exhibition of plasterglass pieces by Elizabeth Garouste, a new body of work by Nina Seirafi, and a debut exhibition by Alexandre Logé.
Alexandre Logé Echo
Parisian born and based Alexandre Logé spent his childhood exploring flea markets, a pastime that led him to pursue a degree in fine art and art history. Following studies at the Panthéon-Sorbonne University, he apprenticed at a furniture design studio where he learned mold-making and prototype building which gave him the framework which informs his own aesthetic. His attraction to African art is palpable; primitive art and designs from the 1940s are his great influences. His work often references bone-like forms, including his debut pieces, made in Plasterglass, for RALPH PUCCI, which he joined in 2020.
Elizabeth Garouste Beans
Elizabeth Garouste was born in Paris in 1949. After her interior design studies at the Camondo School in Paris, she created theater sets for Jean-Michel Ribes before turning to design, which clearly informed her sensibility. In the late 1970s she met Mattia Bonetti and by 1980 the two were collaborating on furniture collections. Garouste and Bonetti quickly became some of the most sought after designers. Their innovative style and whimsical designs have been shown in numerous museums including the Victoria & Albert and Centre Georges Pompidou. She had her first solo exhibition upon joining RALPH PUCCI in 2014.
Nina Seirafi Etna
Award-winning interior and furniture designer Nina Seirafi is based in New York City and works with an international clientele. Her sophisticated designs reflect a cultivated elegance, a refined sensitivity to architectural detail and inventive use of natural materials. She is inspired by art, which is evidenced in her skillful manipulation of form, color and pattern. Her work is notable for its meticulous proportion, discipline and clean lines. Trained in Switzerland and a graduate of Parsons School of Design, Seirafi has been named to the AD100 list and received the Interior Design Magazine NYCxDESIGN Award in 2017 and in 2020. Seirafi joined RALPH PUCCI in 2017.
