“Discover the highlights from PAD Paris 2024”
Par Caroline Roux in GALERIE MAGAZINE, 8 avril 2024
Gallerist Romain Morandi has set his own agenda in Paris’s chic sixth arrondissement, where he mixes early modern with modern and post-modern design to exquisite effect. This was played out perfectly on his stand at PAD, particularly with a Martin Szekely chair, the first that the designer made in carbon fibre around 1982, that Morandi had matched with a desk by Elmar Berkovich, circa-1935. The desk, in black-lacquered wood, with its slick Constructivist lines, was one of the delights of the fair, as was a Josef Hoffmann chair from 1907, with a decorative beaded and arched back. “It’s when you put things in dialogue that you get a really critical view,” said Morandi. He has the eye.
