The earth is at once a material, a territory, a deposit. It is also the basis of liveability for us, now being called into question. Against the background of the depletion of natural resources, a new generation is developing solutions that respect our environment. Terres promises proposes a journey round the world through projects questioning extractivism and land use. From India to Europe or the United States, designers are deploying strategies to limit the consumption of resources, rethinking production channels and reinvesting in ancestral crafts which question the sacred value or our lands.

Tacchini Flock - Lina armchair
Gianfranco Frattini & Formafantasma, 2023

With this armchair made of natural latex, sheep’s wool and wood, developed at the Capsule Plaza during Milan Design Week in 2023, and made by Tacchini, Formafantasma is inspired by the production of ancient mattresses and introduces a more sustainable process for the manufacturing of the brand’s emblematic products. Non-polluting sheep’s wool replaces industrial foam.

Ornement et performance de la terre
Atelier Aïno, Amàco et Terramano, 2022

Blocks of unstabilised compressed earth, a virtuous material that requires no cement or firing, offer new opportunities for buildings. These prototype thermal walls made of this material were developed in collaboration with Amàco et Franck Boutté Consultants and made as part of the FAIRE 2021 research and experimentation programme launched by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal.

Dea Fertilia
Giulio Iacchetti et Genesio Pistidda, 2022

This carafe is an ode to Sardinia. It proposes a synthesis of characteristics specific to a territory in an everyday object. Designed using local clay, its shape evokes the architectural details of the town of Fertilia and the facial features of Sardinian designer ceramicist Eugenio Tavolara (1901 – 1963), who is known for his “toy” figurines. Piece created by Terra e Luna (craft ceramic workshop).

Isabelle Daëron
A graduate of ENSCI –Les Ateliers and Ésad Reims, Isabelle Daëron was selected for the "Mondes Nouveaux" programme in 2021 and winner of "Faire 2018" a call for projects initiated by the Pavillon de l’Arsenal and the City of Paris as well as the "Audi Talents Awards" in 2015. Starting from a reflection on the natural environment and elements, she designs objects, spaces and installations which she deploys in urban and landscape design and research. Her practice of drawing and narration open the way to imagination and a sensitive understanding of landscapes and their resources. In 2023, as part of a project with Ésad Saint-Étienne and Saint-Étienne city, in a collaboration with the inhabitants of la Chartreuse de Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez in France she designed a set of playing cards to valorise and pass on the memory of the village.
