Paris-based multidisciplinary designer Raphael Navot identifies himself as a “non-industrial designer”, who is recognized for his reinterpretation of traditional craftsmanship and focus on exquisite materials to realize his signature sculptural forms. After graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven, Navot embarked on his career with designing David Lynch’s nightclub Silencio in Paris. He has since collaborated with some of the world’s outstanding craftspeople to explore the nuances of texture, form, palette, and material. This marks the first time the gallery will debut an upholstered armchair-- an asymmetrical, cloudlike composition--from his acclaimed Acrostic series.
