F
ounded in 2011 by former production designer
Gabriel Abraham, Los Angeles-based Atelier de
Troupe recently launched its new collection Dérive
d'Été, which explores movement and the cyclical shades
of light while evoking memories of Abraham's childhood
summers in the south of France. Reminiscent of the 1970s,
this line is simultaneously rooted in a contemporary design
vernacular as seen in the Eclipse chair and tables (inspired
by the geometric interplay of light and line), the Coquille
sconce (which looks like a seashell), the Compas pendant
light (shaped out of a single sheet of brass) and the Escargot
lamp (made of a sculptural, curved sheet of brass or steel).
As the rest of the pieces from the studio, the Dérive d'Été
collection also reflects the founder's background in the film
industry, which informs a narrative approach to the design
process. Looking to minimize waste, favoring responsible
sourcing and allowing for extensive customization, Atelier de
Troupe focuses on by-hand manufacturing by local makers for
all its pieces. Satin, polished or blackened brass, cast bronze
or aluminum, powder-coated metal, glass and wood are
some of the materials used in the refined lighting and furniture
by Atelier de Troupe. "The brand's furniture and lighting is
comfortably minimalist, synthesizing disparate influences
into one cohesive vision for modern living," Abraham says.
