Alexandre Moronnoz's Interférences bench earns VIA label
The VIA Labels are given to products or product ranges that result from co-operation between a French manufacturer and a designer. They are attributed each year during the professional trade fairs by a jury of professionals composed of manufacturers, designers, experts and journalists. They concern products launched on the market and which apply – in an original and relevant manner – an approach that is innovative in terms of materials, technology, function or style.
Urban furniture Interférences has received this prestigious VIA Label in 2011. It is the fruit of a collaboration between designer Alexandre Moronnoz and the French manufacturer TF- tôlerie Forézienne in continuity with the call for projects Parckdesign which was launched in 2007 by Brussels Environnement.
You can visit the exhibition Labels VIA until the 20th of February 2011 at the Galerie Via in Paris.
