Archilab 1999 english -

A design and architecture workshop based in Paris, Objectile combines engineering, mathematics, technology, and philosophy to work on the industrial design and manufacturing of curved and variable forms of every proportion, including sculpture, design, furniture, building components, architecture, town planning or landscaping. Objectile has perfected an original mode of production, using their own Objectile software based on TOPCAD, which enables calculating the designs of curved and variable shapes and producing them using numerically-controlled machines. Singular objects can thus be mass produced, including panels, partitions, furnishing elements, etc. Objectile has already designed a teller-window for the SNCF railway company, with curved surfaces adaptable to every situation. Their architectural projects create new topological spaces, in which casing and interlacing are substituted for orthogonal shapes.

stoolFurnistructures project is a research on how lightweight products can be designed.  Lightness has a lot advantages, in the use of products and their impact on the environment. Furniture is in its essence a structure which has to sustain loads and a good structure is efficient using as little material as possible, being light and strong.  This has lead to research into structural systems, as found in nature and architecture, and the possibilities of designing lightweight furniture using systems.
