Atelier BBB is making projects around functional and industrial objects for the widest range of context. Time goes fast and so, one of the only rules at Atelier BBB is not to be in a hurry. You can below find some works by atelier BBB and not enough texts. Atelier BBB is an office composed of just one person trying to make as less final products as possible. Atelier BBB is reachable by email at : mail@atelierbbb.com, or by post: Atelier BBB, Route de Grandvaux 31, CH-1072, Forel (Lavaux) and sometimes by phone +41774062705. Here is a bio.

Mirrors 2011

Mirrors, 2011
For A grammar of the Third Person at Corner College, Zurich. With Clemence Seilles, Stephane Barbier Bouvet, Kueng/Caputo, Jochen Weber, Kai Linke, Xabier Salaberria & David Heitz
Three mirrors: Sample size, 120x185 cm, 60x185cm. Mirror fabric on aluminium canvas, Wooden frame.

A Grammar of the Third Person discusses demarcations and references between different value systems of material culture within the scope of an exhibition space. Thus the group show provides a view on recent relations between art and design with positions from both disciplines. Common roots of shopping displays, fairs and art presentations are explored as well as the interfusion of private and public spaces. In photography, installation and performance, the participating artists and designers deal with influences of modernity and its industrial production, user interfaces of contemporary design or their relations to found materials and spaces.

Mirror (120x185) & Mirror (60x185).

The proposition takes the shape of the given brief elevated into an observation high. The wood beam is used to built a structure and the rest of material is then fixed on top of this stand. As it is related to the human scale, 2 persons can lie on it. The cedar beam is sanded before carpentry, the band-saw cuts are staying visible.

The given beam.

Display Units 2011 (with the students of Head)

Display Units, 2011
Workshop at Head, Haute Ecole d'art et de design, Geneve.
Transformation of the exhibition space.
Ongoing project that will be completed with material needed for upcoming exhibitions.
Diplay Units is an exhibition design shown as an exhibition. The folowing exhibition, The Mirage of History takes Display Units as exhibition design. The project will be completed with units needed for upcoming exhibitions.
The counter becomes a bar, a library and a storage with leftover units.

Display Units est un dispositif scénographique temporaire présentant un système scénographique permanent. L’exposition est le résultat d’un workshop mené par le designer Stéphane Barbier Bouvet avec un groupe interdisciplinaire d’étudiant-e-s en Arts visuels et Design de la Head – Genève. Cette session de travail intense, jalonnée de conférences et de discussions, est consacrée à une réflexion critique sur les conventions de l’espace d’exposition alliée à une entreprise de production (ou de « déproduction ») affirmée, et appliquée au contexte même de LiveInYourHead. Il s’agit, pour le groupe, de questionner la fonction passée du lieu, ses usages actuels, et de se projeter vers une utilisation possible, future et hybride pour concevoir des formes fonctionnelles, travailler le statut du lieu d’exposition, voire dessiner des espaces autres.

Participants: Lisa Benaroyo, Maëlle Gross, Jeanne Guenat, Anthony Guex, Luca guizzo, Nadine Pont, Caroline Preti, Juliette Rambaud, Manon Rouaze, Leonie Vanay et Eun Ji Na.
