François Azambourg A workshop artisan, inventor and professor in Paris (since 1993), François Azambourg has always worked for simplicity and lightness, which are the signature qualities of his work at first glance. His first subject of study was the weight and instability of the saxophone. He spent ten years improving upon its design and performance. Since then, his projects have focused on materials for the future as well as non-synthetic materials for industry, publishing and galleries. His research has resulted in creative designs for leather tables, skeletal chairs, openwork folded garden chairs, light fixtures with hair-like fiber optics and streetlights with long stems. The Two Propeller Mobile, each arm quivering at the slightest breath, was specially designed for “Exercises in air and wind”.
