Unique composition

ARTIST and interior designer Christian de Laubadere is the first "set designer" invited by Versatile Design Boutique to transform the lobby of the Bund 18 upmarket retail and entertainment complex, bringing his unique visual experience and delicate skills to the project.

De Laubadere and Versatile, a design gallery founded by Franck Serrano and Simone Chen, are working together to present "Unique Composition."

They aim to create a serene and elegant environment, featuring artworks from talented craftsmen and women, such as Florence Balducci, Damien Hamon and Geoffroy Nicolet. Their works are the results of months spent maturing ideas, plus exceptional craftsmanship.

De Laubadere has decked the lobby of Bund18 with lush bamboo. Meanwhile, the artists have taken traditional skills, such as oil painting, wood veneering and metal working, modernizing them with a 21st century touch.

The results are pieces of handmade furniture combining originality, functionality and special materials.

Fabrics are designed by Florence Balducci. Through a series of designs originally meant for children's room - such as "Alice in wonderland," "kings of spade and clubs," "mad octopus" and "fierce Jabberwocky" - the designer brings to life a vivid world of fantasy.
