For this 2026 edition’s of the France Design Week, I will exhibit prototypes of “FLEX” my proposals for the 2026 Kernel “Reuse” call to proposal.

When aerospace carbon fibre becomes furniture.

How can we give a second life to a material as technical as carbon fibre from the aerospace industry?

With FLEX, designer Pierre Foulonneau rises to this challenge by creating a furniture range that brings together two worlds: reused carbon fibre – which is lightweight, robust and flexible – and steel sourced from end-of-life construction site barriers.

Born out of a collaboration between Airbus Atlantic, Edalis Solution Technique, Le Comptoir Du Carbone and SISCO COMPOSITES, this project demonstrates that reuse can be synonymous with simplicity, functionality and desirability.

Thanks to understated design and expert manufacturing processes, the bench and stool showcase the full elegance of carbon fibre, whilst giving new life to materials originally intended for other purposes.

FLEX illustrates design’s ability to build bridges between industrial sectors, expertise and materials, to imagine new, more responsible uses.

Discover this project and meet the designers who are reinventing the uses of tomorrow at Kernel “Reuse” 2026.

I will be one of the jurors for the Young Designer Prize 2024 and will be leading the design research category. The event will take place on the 3rd-5th of September at the Vilnius Academy of Arts, Vilnius, Lithuania.

Young Designer Prize is an annual competition organized since 2011 with young designers competing for the awards every year. The main aim is to encourage the professional development of design students, providing them with an opportunity to present their ideas outside the Academy.

At the award ceremony the best young designers are announced and presented with diplomas and sponsor prizes. After the ceremony, the doors to the exhibition with all the finalists are open. During the exhibition the visitors can participate in educational workshops, guided tours and learn more about design.

Back at Ambiente after 3 years!

Time to reconnect with clients, suppliers and friends from all over the world, check the new stuff and the older too, discover the trends, meet new people, discuss further collaboration and make plans for the future.

Very enthusiastic and energetic fair, looking forward to next year.
