Romain Coppin and Alexis Bondoux, who together call themselves Messgewand, are fascinated by aesthetic ambiguity. Their work balances between the sacred and the banal, between chic and cheap. It gives rise to critical reflections on the familiar production processes of design and questions what concepts such as functionality and good taste actually mean. Grande Partido is a good example: a console table that combines several colours and textures, and manages to be glamorous and witty at the same time.
