step by step

With Virgil Abloh, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Guillaume Bardet, François Bauchet, Ronan Bouroullec, Pierre Charpin, Jean-Baptiste Fastrez, Front, Vidya Gastaldon, Konstantin Grcic, Jaime Hayon, Hella Jongerius, Chris Kabel, François Lafortune, Sven Abplanalp, Alessandro Mendini, Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Müller Van Severen, Julie Richoz, Jerszy Seymour and Studio Wieki Somers.

After several typological exhibitions dedicated to the mirror (2003), the stool (2007), and the necklace (2012), Galerie kreo presents step by step (question.s d’échelle.s), a new panorama of contemporary design taking the form of a stylistic exercise. Historical pieces and iconic ladders conceived by Alessandro Mendini and Marc Newson come into dialogue with new creations by the gallery's designers, from Virgil Abloh to Hella Jongerius and Jerszy Seymour. In the service of a simple and movable object—made up of vertical mounts and horizontal steps that allow for the act of ascent and descent—each designer proposes a specific ladder, emblematicof their research.
