Shaping the Possible: Pierre Lallemand, Designer

معاينة: كُتبت قبل افتتاح المعرض

Pierre Lallemand has designed lamps, furniture, bicycles and sailing boats, and he refuses to separate how they look from how they work. "Form is already a function in itself," he says in the museum's text.

The show sticks to his design work and leaves out most of his architecture. It covers more than thirty years through drawings, models, prototypes, finished objects and experimental pieces, arranged to follow a design from the first sketch to production. It starts from his training in Brussels in the late 1970s and his early lighting, shown at the city's Galerie Théorème in the 1980s, then takes in his years at BBPR in Milan and with César Pelli in the United States.

You come for the process more than the showroom: the museum calls it a focused selection, not a full retrospective. Entry to the temporary shows is €8.50, open daily 11:00 to 19:00.
