“I chose to simulate the effervescence of Champagne by creating a splashing effect through a spray of yellow paint. This dark yellow colour has been connected to the Veuve Clicquot House since 1877; it expresses the dynamic spirit of the brand, the colour of the grape, the inventiveness typical of their innovations. For Champagne, as for the “Chaise A”, it is about heritage but also about modernism and dynamism.”
