Patrick Norguet: 20 years of design behind the lens of Alistair Taylor-Young

Industrial designer Patrick Norguet created the famous Rainbow Chair in 2000, which has since been included in the MoMA collections. Patrick Norguet is known for his rigorous and refined style, marked by his quest for excellent knowledge and his passion for industrial processes.

Twenty years after his first major success, the French designer has teamed up with British photographer Alistair Taylor-Young to produce a beautiful book entitled Dialogues, conceived as a visual ode to the objects, exchanges and encounters that have marked his atypical career.

"Dialogues" de Patrick Norguet

This first book by Patrick Norguet features a selection of 50 creations photographed by Alistair Taylor-Young and accompanied by texts by Yann Siliec. A true visual narrative, the book highlights the designer’s relationship with beauty and sensitivity through an original presentation of his work, where bodies mingle with objects to shed light on the different facets of his activity. Divided into three parts, “For whom? Why? How?”, Dialogues is more than just a book; it is a creative and interactive exchange between photographer and designer, which immerses us in Patrick Norguet’s universe and offers us another look at his creative process and the practice that resulted from it. Between objects and photographs, the passion of a profession and the privileged relationship that the designer maintains radiate from this beautiful book, with 6,000 copies printed.
