Tripode Pluton

Project financed and supported by the association Granit and Pierres du Sidobre in the department of Tarn. Under the supervision of Jérôme Tarbouriech.

This project aims to enhance the vernacular materials of the Tarn, specifically Sidobre, a French mountainous region located south of the Massif Central, a granitic territory of 15.3 km in length with a maximum width of 6.6 km.

Magma and lava come Granite hence its name of rock "plutonic" as a reminder of the pagan God who reigned over the unknown of the underworld. This tripod is thanks to the balance of a key that maliciously recalls the "cùn" (in Occitan and "corner" in French), the tool with which the granitiers remove the stone to the mountain. Far from separating, here the tool, stylized in a beautiful chrome element, gathers and participates in the creation of the piece of furniture.

It is assured of its stability by a "carrot" of granite that takes us with it to the depths of our planet, the origin of this material.

Vases Frimaire / Lorraine

Research of materials - expanded cork.

Collaboration with glass blowers from La Mouillette Atelier, Eve Le Faucheur and Vianney Jolivet.

In the revolutionary calendar, cork was the day of the month of "Frimaire" equivalent to December 17.

As the light of the year fades, the warmth of the ovens and the cork blaze to give birth to a vase-rock as fragile as the mountain is hard. The cork mold is burning, leaving behind the light of these vases.

Toguna - Obsideo

Toguna Project - Tokyo Palace

Project supported and funded by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation.

Collaboration of Pierre-Henri Beyssac for the design and realization of the marquetry.

The term "Toguna" refers to an open construction usually erected in the center of the Dogon villages (Mali) along the Bandiagara cliff; the low height of this building is wanted, so as to force dialogue sitting, without ever coming to the hands.

Thick layers of millet stems forms the roof, like so many strata of accumulated knowledge. It is a community place where the words of the elders are passed on and potential conflicts are addressed. It is this architecture that has served as a symbolic referent for the development of a new venue within the Palais de Tokyo. The Toguna was first imagined as a great landscape to survey, to visit. It is an immersive work, at the same time observatory of the various know-how summoned and experimental material that interrogates our relationship to the transmission by overflowing the classical form of the amphitheater.

The project /

Facing the stone-cardboard bedside of François-Xavier Richard, Obsideo is a vast cork bench, "a pile of cork blocks like a crystallized eruption, both seated and ambulatory", in the words of its creators, designer Dimitry Hlinka and marquetry Pierre-Henri Beyssac. The Latin verb obsideo means "occupy a place, besiege, block, invest". Through a modular system based on the identical dimensions of expanded cork blocks, Dimitry Hlinka and Pierre-Henri Beyssac invest the space following an orthonormal plan. The very precise accumulation of the modules forms a vast geometrical and dark landscape, on which a marquetry motif of colored "stone leaves" stands out in contrast. The lines formed by the stone on the vertical and horizontal cork planes emphasize the lines of force that structure the whole, operating smoothly the passage from one material to another.

Sidobre

Project financed and supported by the association Granit and Pierres du Sidobre in the department of Tarn. Under the supervision of Jérôme Tarbouriech.

This project aims to enhance the vernacular materials of the Tarn, specifically Sidobre, a French mountainous region located south of the Massif Central, a granitic territory of 15.3 m in length with a maximum width of 6.6 km.

The Sidobre office is the result of the collaboration between the Granite and Stones of Sidobre association, Dominique Planchand, granite craftsman in Lacrouzette for 6 generations, and Dimitry Hlinka.

This furniture brings together three emblematic local materials: copper, walnut, and Sidobre granite. A sleek design that hints at the almost mountainous landscapes of the region.

The realization of the base is made possible by the use of a copper structure for the stability of the furniture and holding granite.

EB-Cycle

EB-Cycle - Electric Bamboo Cycle

Design and Design Dimitry Hlinka and Patricio Sarmiento.

With the support of the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute, EB.Cycle, is the fruit of the collaboration between the designers Dimitry Hlinka and Patricio Sarmiento. It reflects a common ambition; on the one hand to propose a responsible solution to the urban mobility and on the other hand the challenge to push the mechanical properties of the bamboo, a material of future, ecological and durable.

This first prototype experiments with the mechanical properties of bamboo using cold bending techniques. A second definitive prototype is being considered for possible production in Taiwan.

André-Charles is a sugar / Paris

Project in collaboration with Céline Pelcé and Lukas Gamard, photos of the installation by Mathias De lattre.

Lisa Klein Michel has documented the manufacturing.

Marquetry is the art of assembling materials of different natures and colors, aiming to build a pattern. It is one of the rare crafts that could not be fully automated or industrialized, and the object inlaid through the ages.

"André-Charles is a sugar" - named after the French cabinetmaker André-Charles Boulle, asks questions about the production system, through the manufacture of an ephemeral marquetry. Caramel steles, serial and yet unique, are made from refined sugar from industry, and the technique comes from the marquetry.

Caramel stelae, breeze blocks, pincers.

Dimensions: 950 x 450 mm.

Translucent Stone / Taiwan NTCRI

Project realized as part of the Hand in Hand residence at NTCRI, National Taiwan Craft Research Institute.

Translucent Stone is a series of luminaires that highlights the internal structure of the plant, by a longitudinal section, allied to the luminescence of the rock.

Poetic objects, these lamps diffuse a soft and warm ambient light that is reminiscent of the effect of a Zen garden. The rock leaves, unique in their motifs and reliefs, become veritable contemplative paintings.

Manufacturing / Wang Kai Ho, Dimitry Hlinka.

Dimensions: H. 250 x l. 170 x 40 mm.

Silhouette / Taiwan NTCRI / 2017 Rado Public Price

Project realized as part of the Hand in Hand residence at NTCRI, National Taiwan Craft Research Institute.

Collaboration with Lin Jiang-Cheng, bamboo master in the Nantou area.

Reflected from the hot bending technique, SILHOUETTE is a range of consoles, light and flexible. The clean and airy lines of the structure let the object appear in the space it occupies.

The base is composed of two identical calibers which fit together to obtain the structure. The tray consists of a braided slate plate positioned on the curve to facilitate the bending of the material and allows to harmonize the use of stone to the bamboo structure.

The seat, taking again the principle of assembly of the piece of furniture, is in the course of realization.

Dimension: Calibres of different dimensions.

Expérimentation

Gliz

Project in collaboration with Mehdi Le Bars.

The GLIZ project is declined in a range of furniture combining natural sterling and solid wood stone. This project comes from a common will: involve organic and mineral material. We focused our research on the concept of "border" that is the director link of the range.

The originality of this coffee table is characterized by both flexible lines, with curved shapes, but also by its base. Indeed, the main crossing is positioned between the two parts of the plateau, which create a strong visual impact between the wood and the stone and contributes to this impression of lightness.

The structure is composed of multiply birch on which is applied a white muscular lacquer of a high resistance.

The slate is treated with a hydrophobic and lipophobic finish, making it insensitive to stains.

Tailor-made decline in single pieces or in small series.

Slate, valchromat, solid oak, multiply.

Maroquinerie minérale

With the LS (Liège-Schiste) manufacturing technique, Atelier Hlinka has developed a whole series of small leather goods.

This combination makes it possible to remedy the low mechanical resistance of cork by the excellent performance of the stone, while maintaining the insulating properties of the latter.

Original, graceful, the leather goods can also offer an alternative to the use of the animal for its leather in the making of these small objects of our daily lives.

Cork, slate.

Dimensions: 120 x 70 x 5 mm.

LS

The LS, abbreviation of Liège-Schiste, is a material developed by Atelier Hlinka.

Hybrid material combining the insulating properties of cork and the mechanical strength of stone, the LS, by its flexibility and strength, works like leather.

Mémoire de recherche

Fragments

In the home, often, the abrupt change of material between two rooms is provided by a threshold bar.

FRAGMENTS offers an alternative to this border on the ground by the use of a pattern machined with numerical control. The objective is to abolish the notion of threshold and, at the same time, to highlight the spatial transition.

The use of a hybrid material offers the advantage of combining the insulating and mechanical properties of cork and stone.

Cork, slate, solid oak.

Dimensions: depending on the floorboards, standard and made to measure.

Doublure

Revisiting the empty pocket, Lining is a graceful and elegant object that covers, like a briefcase, all that can be stored in different compartments: keys, bills, postcards ...

Clean, smooth, this wall-mounted vacuum pocket is also like a chalk board on which you can write with chalk.

In the manner of a leather, the flap which is composed of two slate and cork materials folds down, allowing the use of the object. The whole is held by magnets allowing a gradual opening.
