Ideat April 2022: PAD Paris 2022, the paths of art
Serge Gleizes
In this place that he opened in 2020, Pierre Raguideau pays tribute to Scandinavian furniture
from the 50s and 60s and to contemporary designers and artists,
Italian, Japanese, African and French whose work mixes beauty of materials, functionalism, timelessness. “I am exhibiting here a typical creation by Finn Juhl and another by Hans Wegner, such as the RY26 enfilade (pictured), which remained, in my opinion, faithful to the Scandinavian modernist movement of that time,” he says. They are two sets that are both simple in their lines and proportions and in the use of almost raw natural materials. There will also be paintings by Jean Dewasne, graphic and luminous, a just counterpoint to this purity.”
