Interview with Grégoire Gurtner

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
During my first professional experiences, the search for solutions and the study of details always attracted me. After several years dedicated to construction, and serving others, I decided to give myself the chance to realize my own projects.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
My company stands out for listening and the diversity of professional knowledge acquired during my career. The team is small, which allows direct and reassuring communication for the customer.
What is "design" for you?
For me, design must combine aesthetics and functionality. One cannot go without the other for a successful project.
What kinds of works do you like designing most?
Interior design is a big part of my preferences, but I'm always drawn to projects that are out of the ordinary, regardless of the field, which gives more interest to research.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
Its sense of existence, its usefulness. If it does not make sense, but only aesthetics, it is missed
What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
Many emotions are felt, excitement, satisfaction, but also frustration at times
What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
It is a pride to have been able to lead a project to its completion. If it manages to exist, it is already a first victory.
When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
He must attract attention and arouse curiosity, which proves that he stands out from the rest. Then, always the balance between its functionality and its aesthetics.

Extended Interview with Grégoire Gurtner

Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
I arrived in the world of design very late, after training as a mason and many years working on construction sites. I always wanted to create new things, this path was certainly pre-destined.
How did you become a designer?
I like to create, I like to stand out, I like to surprise others. Design is the possibility of being able to respond to requests, while creating astonishment.
Which emotions do you feel when designing?
J'aime le mobilier. Mais j'espère pouvoir offrir mes services dans les domaines les plus vastes possibles.
What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
I don't pretend to be a legend. But you just have to believe in yourself, dare to show yourself, without fear of the eyes of others. If you don't do it for others, at least do it for yourself.
How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
If I were lucky enough to have only one, it would be easy to answer that question.
Who is your favourite designer?
my best design is my Wall-O chair. I think he is distinguished by his sobriety, and arouses curiosity.
