Patrick Norguet
He always thinks that there is a way, never issuing vain pieces of evidence, only proposals.

Paris, France
Designs for Allermuir
Proposals with sulfurous ergonomics, shaped like racing cars barging full steam ahead into the Object World.
An icon of French Design, Patrick Norguet prefers the adrenaline rush from materials, the telluric forces of improbable but miraculous assemblies to the cosy safety favored by those who stay ashore. Or, in plain terms, to flesh up, to breathe life into myriads of scenarii, as sexy as they are useless, exempting themselves from elucidations, multilingual in their forms as much as through their functions. “Whom for? What for? How?”. In responding to this triad of essential questions, Patrick Norguet has been assuming the definition-role of industrial designer. A role practised in a mighty way, where each project born of an encounter extends beyond the simple quest for aesthetics and for the right line, to infuse in the course of travels, of the crystallization of collective imagination and different cultures. And end up -final anatomies- in “fair, honest products, part of the sociology of their times”.
