Nicolas Le Moigne
From 1979 to today. The career of Nicolas Le Moigne is emerging as an unlimited series of meetings, collaboration and shared syncronicités with leading Swiss design and abroad. Author spout "Verso Diverso" which allows him to experience a first major commercial success during his classes (ECAL / Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne), he deals with various issues of international publishers, including those companies Serralunga, Omega and Eternit. The latter calls the designer a crossroads between craft and industry hub where Nicolas Le Moigne choose to stop driving for better research work in collaboration with Eternit (Master ECAL) which will collect both the favor of the press , those of the Confederation (federal grants) and will accompany the tour's international Designpreis 2008.
Asked by the magazine to celebrate Heim Ideales the 80th anniversary of the publication alongside the big names in design, Nicolas Le Moigne makes a dish he likes that embody this duality. His meeting with the gallerist Libby Sellers in London 2008 reveals a new facet of his work, creating a limited edition of 12 copies of a stool, entitled "Slip Stool." A successful trial that leads him to expose new achievements in Zurich, Paris (Next Level Gallery for a solo), Geneva (Gallery Ormond) or more recently in the gallery Helmrinderknecht Berlin to present a series of ceramic vases.
