For his first solo exhibition at Galerie kreo, Paris, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez (*1984) presents Space Craft, an ensemble of mirrors, tables and side tables, stools, a console table, and a sideboard. Characteristic of his research into the narrative power of objects and materials, this new collection features highly designed pieces with a techno-futurist aesthetic, made using both traditional and innovative know-how, such as straw marquetry and Nextel paint. Not a clash of temporalities, but rather a strong desire to reconcile them by creating furniture that directly reflects the current era.
