Yes yes, I know you are all impatient to discover what I've been doing for one year, and the good news is that now it is the time! For the one who couldn't make it for the
show, Azure Magazine interviewed me. Here is an extract :
"Aurélie Mossé is redefining the relationship we have to the home. The recent MA Design for Textile Futures at Central Saint Martins grad aims to develop deeper relationships
between textiles and their owners with her interactive and sustainable designs. Azure's Paige Magarrey caught up with Mossé as she finished exhibiting at the Textile Futures Degree
Show to talk about her ideas, the design industry and what the future has in store. [...]
Tell me about your latest project, [Extra]ordinary Furniture.
[Extra]ordinary furniture is a project all about imagining the future of the home and how to make it more poetic, emotionally and ecologically durable; how to reintroduce emotion and meaning
into the ordinary in order to go beyond the worldwide standardization of objects. I have always been interested in the stereotyping and loss of diversity of our environments, the heritage of
mass-production and the desire for democratization.
But maybe even more important, objects’ loss of meaning is also at the origin of the current ecological crisis, as Jonathan Chapman demonstrated in his book, “Emotionally
Durable Design: Objects, Experiences and Empathy Objects” fail to install a long-term relationship with the user by lack of meaning. Because they can’t sustain empathy with us, we quickly replace
them for another, which nurtures the loop of consumption and waste production. This makes explicit why this project is about to materialize new types of objects, capable of supporting deeper, more
meaningful relationship with their user. This reflection has lead the development of evolving furniture for domestic experience, including [Extra]ordinary Wallpapers, a collection
of wallpapers to sculpt and Mille-Feuille table, a table to be peeled away, layer after layer."

Many thanks Paige !

Ikea and the effects of standardization / fabrication of stereotypes is a vast subject, I am still interested in. Here is an interesting controversy about their users guide, claimed to be
sexist as only showing men assembling the famous kits:

"Imagine a world in which humans and objects coexist, living out epic tales of adoration, love, and
above all, empathy – a sensual realm wherein the walls erected to separate flesh from polymer crumble giving a way to lawless and unsupervised consumer future [...] Finally, imagine a world with
less waste, minimized pollution and reduced resource depletion where economic interests prosper and consumers may satisfy their fleeting desires without causing further devastation to this
fragile planet". Jonathan Chapman in Emotionally Durable Design, Earthscan, 2006,p163-164
Should this be only a dream ?

"Even the world ecology is taken from the greek oikos, meaning house or household: the immediate human environment."Jonathan Chapman ,
Emotionally Durable Design, Earthscan
publishing, 2006, p21
I am reading again this book for thesis purpose, but the more I read it, the more I realize how much it is relevant and inspiring, so I would definitively recommand you to urgently read it if not
done already ! It is a great bible for a new design approach.
