« Fleurs de Paris », une création de Soline d’Aboville au Royal Monceau
/dans Evénements /par Florence Bernardin« De mon métier de scénographe, j’ai appris avec l’expérience que la conception d’une installation éphémère exige beaucoup d’humilité, de flexibilité et de créativité. Mais à la manière d’un feu d’artifice, cette installation doit briller et l’exercice consiste à se renouveler sans cesse. Rétrospectivement, on peut considérer que tous les projets auxquels j’ai participé sont différents, mais en fait, ils ont un air de famille et des traits communs : les effets de lumière et jeux de miroirs, le travail de la couleur et du son, la nature qui revient au galop, une certaine forme de simplicité aussi, une grande exigence sur les détails… Tout est amené ensemble pour créer une forme d’expérience et créer l’étonnement du visiteur.»
Installation du 1er septembre au 1er octobre 2014
Royal Monceau, 37 avenue Hoche, 75008 Paris.
2014 creation of Soline Aboville entitled « Flowers of Paris »: a carpet of flowers suggesting a paper cut-off creates an element of surprise when you enter the place. Cut in the plane of the iconic Paris Royal Monceau,Paris these flowers make up a French garden revisited echoing the ceiling of the restaurant Stéphane Calais. This installation is part of the framework of the collaboration with the Royal Monceau contemporary creation.
Designer-designer graduated from ENSAD, Soline Aboville was formed back in 2001 in art showcases for the House of Cartier. After creating the sets for 5 years showcases Louis Vuitton worldwide, she lent her talent, since the creation of his own agency, Manymany in 2008, many otherluxury houses such as Baccarat, Boucheron, Chanel jewelry , Diptych, Guerlain, Vacheron Constantin or Hennessy… « In my job as a set designer, I have learned through experience that the design of a facility ephemeral mother requires a lot of humility, flexibilityand creativity. But in the manner of fireworks, this facility should shine and the exercise is to be continually renewed. In retrospect, we can consider that all the projects I have been involved are different, like so many faces. But in fact, they have a family resemblance and common traits: the effects of light and mirrors, the use of color and sound, the kind that comes galloping, some form ofSimplicity, a large requirement the details … everything is brought together to create a form of experience and create the surprise visitor. «

Tera-4 concrétise le projet du quadrimaran
/dans Plaisance /par Florence BernardinTera-4 repousse les limites techniques du transport maritime multicoques en imaginant un navire à 4 coques : le quadrimaran. Ce concept des plus novateurs est garant de hautes performances puisqu’il combine des avantages hydrodynamiques et aérodynamiques pour accéder à une navigation semi-aéroportée inégalée jusqu’à présent. Contrairement aux bateaux existants type monocoque, le quadrimaran « surfe » sur des coussins d’air naturels et se démarque par ses nombreux avantages. Il subit très peu de frottements eau/air et de contraintes liées aux vagues grâce au phénomène de « planning » induit par l’engouffrement de l’air dans ses 3 tunnels : sa consommation est ainsi nettement réduite et divisée par 2. Il offre une large gamme de vitesse d’utilisation, aussi à l’aise à faible allure qu’à grande vitesse. Il peut atteindre les 60 noeuds car il optimise la puissance de ses moteurs tout en gardant une maîtrise totale du pilotage.
Navigant entre air et mer, le quadrimaran Tera-4 garantit, en plus de sa stabilité et de sa rapidité, une diminution de -50% de la consommation d’énergie et ouvre ainsi de nouvelles perspectives dans l’industrie navale.
This revolutionary project which has been maturing for years and led by the Tera-4 company will soon be put out to sea. In order to meet the expectations of an impatient public, Tera-4 has pushed the technical limits of multi-hull maritime transport by imagining a vessel with 4 hulls: quadrimaran. The most innovative high performance of such a concept has been guaranteed through the combination of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic advantages so as to access unrivalled, up until now, semi airborne navigation. Navigating between the sea and air, the Tera-4 quadrimaran guarantees, in addition to its stability and its rapidity, a decrease of 50% in energy consumption and thus opens up new horizons within the shipbuilding industry. The main innovation of the Tera-4 quadrimaran resides in the fact that 3 tunnels form the 4 hulls. Unlike existing single-hull boats, the quadrimaran « surfs » on natural airbags and stands out from the crowd due to its many advantages. It benefits from great stability as it is little affected by rolling and pitching: a significant benefit for those who suffer from sea sickness. It is also little affected by water/air friction and constraints linked to the action of waves due to the phenomena known as « planning » induced by the engulfment of air into its three tunnels: its consumption is significantly reduced by 50%.
The Tera-4 quadrimaran is both efficient and manoeuvrable and is an additional working tool for all operations which take place at sea. Robust with precision steering and an ability to turn flat in all circumstances, it offers new professional perspectives as a result.
