    • RE: Another my home project

      Hi Simon,

      Thanks for nice comments.

      Yes it is my actual house, I built it 30 years ago and still love it. It's sort of a solar passive house with double walls and outside insulation, greenhouse and of course south facing.
      As said, I will post outside shots as soon as I finished modelling the terrain.
      There are spotlights but ouside of focus. Render is Artlantis studio 3.

      Have a nice day!

    • Another my home project

      Having recently definitively retired, I have now plenty of time to do fun projects and I start with a my home in SUP.
      Here are the first interior shots. Paintings by my darling wife, ceramics made by me when I was a potter as well as most of the steel work.
      External views of house will come soon.
      The cargo ship is a hand made wood and cardboard model I bought some twenty years ago during my first trip to Madagascar.

    • RE: Jean Prouvé - Fauteuil grand repos

      Hi, thanks for interest.

      @ Pilou

      In traditional chaise longues the back can be adjusted separately from the seat; here, however, a single seat/back element is pushed continuously on ball bearings along a steel supporting slat, which is hollow on the inside. The armrests welded to the side sections serve as braces with which to push oneself backward or pull oneself forward and are supported by two steel springs attached under the seat.

      @ Spasher

      I used Fredo curviloft pluging for the folded effect, very efficient if you draw the good profile which is most of the time the result of trial and error 😕

    • RE: Jacques André, Jean Prouvé - Garden chair

      Thanks for interest. It's my pleasure to share.

      Here is what I found about the baby doing some deeper search on the net:

      Like Jean Prouvé, Jacques André came from a family of architects and craftsmen in Nancy. Their fathers were actively involved in the Ecole de Nancy, which played an important role in Art Nouveau. Jean Prouvé was a founding member in 1929 of the avant-garde Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM) and in 1934 recruited Jacques André as well, who had just received his architecture degree and had been working with him since the 1920s. In 1936 the two of them suggested to UAM on the occasion of the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris that the union present a complete ensemble of furniture. The intention was to create a combination of steel with acrylic glass and thus create an equivalent in furniture to high-tech architecture which, through its skeletal steel construction and generous use of glass, created an increasingly light appearance. Prouvé had produced a prototype for a Plexiglas object that same year and had presented it at the Paris autumn salon. In February of 1937, Jacques André began production of the collection, which was only intended to comprise six pieces. The chair was made of folded and perforated sheet metal and was constructed in Jean Prouvé’s workshop. Folding the sheet metal increased its resilience, while perforation reduced the weight and supported the visual sense of dematerialization. The material acrylic glass only appears to be light and was at that time very difficult to produce and to process. Upon the presentation of the ensemble in 1937, André also encountered problems with the weatherproofing of the material, which tended to develop cracks in direct sunlight. The anticipated positive response was not forthcoming and the hope of finding a manufacturer to produce the series was disappointed. MK

      Glorious rendering, love it, may I ask you which render soft you use?

      @ Pilou
      No comment… 😒

      @ cotty
      Great render, the rusty texture is great but although the material you used for the seat is nice, I think it lacks the acrylic transparency.

      @pbacot
      Yeah, I think it was the good time, lot of things to invent.
