The Design Parade 2023’s exceptional list of winners
The Design Parade 2023 reveals this season’s winners after three days of intense deliberation: on June 24 and 25, the jurors revealed the names of the winners.
Throwback to Toulon, where Aline Asmar d’Amman, president of the interior design jury, along with designers Harry Nuriev and Tyler Billinger, pastry chef Pierre Hermé and Victoire de Taillac, co-founder of Officine Universelle Buly, awarded 5 prestigious prizes for this 7th edition. First and foremost the talented Clément Rosenberg won the Grand Prix Design Parade Toulon Van Cleef & Arpels for his interior entitled « Chambre tapissée pour Cigale en Hiver ». Then it was the turn of Anaïs Hervé and Arthur Ristor for their creation Le Palais de Sable to win the Visual Merchandising Prize, awarded by Chanel. Marisol Santana and Emily Chakhtakhtinsky had the pleasure of winning the Mobilier National Prize for their project « Lou Cabanoun » : a dry-stone hut symbolizing the vestiges of Mediterranean territory. As for the Prix du Public, it was awarded to the promising Théophile Chatelais and Hadrien Krief for their project inspired by Mediterranean culture, entitled « Les Heures chaudes », presenting an interior adapted to tomorrow’s heatwaves. To round off Toulon, a special mention from the jury goes to Mathieu Tran Nguyen for his creation l’Oseraie, mainly built around the ancestral art of weaving.
In Hyères, for the section devoted entirely to design and presided over by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance, with the support of interior architect and designer Marion Mailaender, Guillaume Bardet and Jean-Marie Massaud, the artist Yassin Ben-Abdallah received a double reward for his work « Mémoires de Plantations », a material embodiment of the culture and history of those oppressed by the sugar industry on Reunion Island. He was awarded the Grand Prix du Public de la ville de Hyères, as well as the Grand Prix du Jury. Last but not least, Lucien Dumas and Lou-Poko Savadogo – Au Dixième – also won a double award with the Fondation Carmignac and the Prix Tectona for their furniture made from woven wood assemblies.
An edition full of discoveries, and one that rewarded the next generation of design in the cult Villa Noailles!
