All alone with yourself: the high-tech vanitas by the Sismo Design
A few years ago, when I was thinking about switching carrier from the financial markets to the design industry, I had the opportunity to meet French Sismo Design duo for a job interview.
THe Sismo Design (behind that name are Antoine Fenoglio and Frédéric Lecourt) is one of the key actor of the French design industry. And they're a one-of-a-kind: a design agency working in various fields (product, scenography etc) for brands, a product and furniture designer whose new creations can be found in specific stores and a research lab in product design. Those guys and their staff are always in search of innovation and sense behind their research, and they're appreciated for their difference. And they're always looking ahead towards what they could do further. Which leads them to be ahead of most agencies and putting their hands into new fields.
Latest remarkable feat: during the young Chic Art Fair in Paris last week, they unveiled the result of their latest research. Jumping on the new 3D-printing technology, they presented something inbetween art and design: a high-tech vanitas, your 3D-printed skull! Based on their explanations, it's a new way to have your portrait down. Quite logical actually, each epoch has seen new technologies impact portraits were done so far! And if not enough, now they intend to create an exhibition based on those 3D skulls for 2011. An idea never ends with them!
And if you're lucky enough, you cuold discover their vanitas during the Biennale de Saint-Etienne in France on November, 20th.

I'm a French girl in her thirties, having lived in Sydney, Australia, and Copenhagen, Denmark, those last years now back home.
During four years, I've worked as a Project Manager & Consultant in Corporate Branding in a leading branding & design agency. I was part of a fantastic team dedicated to the AIR FRANCE KLM brand. That's where I've done my basic training. That's where I've begun working with passion.
Living abroad and meeting creative professionals from the whole world through the Creative Professionals Worldwide club I set up, my eyes wide-opened, passion has continued to grow unceasingly.I'm living in this industry, but this industry is also living in me: more than ever curiosity has become my key feature. The whole world around us is inspiring: just stop middle of the street, look around, observe the people, the billboards, the newspapers, the objects and start making connexions between things, start being creative. I can't help doing so. That's why I've become such a blogger.
