THE SELECTION OF THE WEEKEND BY MAC LESGGY Eclectic in life as in his tastes, Mac Lesggy is a curious that nothing scares.
This agricultural engineer of training has illustrated on television with E = M6, the scientific rendezvous of the small screen since the 90s. Thanks to him, technological innovations, the human body and the life sciences have no secrets for millions of viewers. But, behind the glasses most known of the PAF, hides an esthete who every time moves to the alleys of Paul Bert Serpette to decorate his new home. Son and grandson of architect he inherited a sure eye for the interior.
Follow the guide for a special E = Design!
The Louis XV House, James , Courtyard, booth, 12c - 13c, Serpette Like his culture, Mac Lesggy 's tastes are varied and varied. Centuries and epochs From Joe Colombo to the XVIIIth century Incredible sedan chair in excellent condition, engraved at the initials of its owner - an enigmatic BLC This mode of transport that disappears little by little in the nineteenth seduces our expert for the testimony it represents A diving In history within seat range!
Emmanuel Renoult , Lane 7, booth 7, Paul Bert Drawing boards for private and commercial interiors In 32 drawings emerges influences, references, style Their author, a certain Villermoze, a modest architect living in the Paris suburbs and still active, deploys a singular and seductive feature even for neophytes Clin d'œil to his father architect, Mac Lesggy scrutinizes them, discovering new details.
Minerva Bust, early nineteenth Bernard Tinivella , Alley 4, Booth 205, Paul Bert. Mac Lesggy does not retreat before the classic. He likes to mix styles and times. This bust of Minerva captured its look by its modernity and the great sweetness emerges. Here it is less the warrior who is seized than the woman.
Mobile, Dan Permanant, circa 1970 Szanto Gallery , Alley 3, booth 14, Serpette Sculpture Takis, his simplicity and lightness reminds him of the works of the Greek sculptor. But the most film-lovers will recognize there an element of Michel Audiard's 1971 film, Le Cri du cormoran. Evening over the junks. Rustic and warm, they would warm up any interior by their imposing presence Their "never-seen" design does not fail to challenge Mac Lesggy who already sees himself.
Leather armchair, "Elda", Joe Colombo, 1963 Déjà-Vu Design , Allée 6, booth 234, Paul Bert. Mac Lesggy begins the selection with an iconic piece. The "Elda" chair by Joe Colombo is a collector's dream. A masterly creation in the very short career of the Italian designer, Pivotante, its structure in polyester and fiberglass covered with leather deploys its wingspan while enveloping the one who sits there. Dated in 1963, the futurism of "Elda" remains, still today, intact.
Cut of the epidermis in bas-relief, plaster, circa 1930 Memento Mori , Allée 4, booth 213, Paul Bert. Can not miss it! From the 1930s to the present, nothing to change. On this cut of the epidermis, everything is there. Its precision spatters our scientist who details it from the horror muscle to the sebaceous glands. The synthetic images used today in E = M6 do not do better, it means.
Chess game, 40 years Sébastien Lessage , Alley 5, booth 257-259, Paul Bert. Equally hallucinating, this giant chess game of the 40s surprisingly, he would not be deprived in a film by Cocteau, his strangeness giving him a poetic look. Element of reverie, this rare set has caught the attention of a scientist!
Vasarely, serie "Gaya", circa 75 Katia Apelbaum and Arnaud Volfinger , Allée 2, booth 20-23, Serpette. It is well known, fashion and tastes evolve over time. Great admirer of Vasarely, child, his parents had some silk-screen prints, Mac Lesggy then turned away there. He returned there today recovering there the charms of childhood and the hallucinogenic views of this artist of op. art
