For several months, the designer frédéric saulou worked on the parisian territory to exchange with local actors and create unique pieces using meulière stone - a local stone emblematic of paris, which was extracted from the construction site of line 18 of the future metro. Of the grand paris express. In the past, this stone was used to grind wheat in the region and for the construction of houses in the old parisian countryside. “pierre d’ici” questions the relationship between matter in space and its origin, between the earth and its extraction, in the context of the construction site of the grand paris express. This set of furniture refers to the territory in full mutation between the historical context of the site and urbanization. Archaeological excavations have uncovered traces of man dating from the 5th to the 1st century bc, from the second iron age. Today, on this same territory, excavations have given way to other sites, such as the metro. The different pieces presented refer to these changing universes, both through the types of furniture used and in the use of the materials used. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
