The aim of this contest was: "Emotion and simplicity".
These sun eyeglasses are created for women.
Made of a piece of polycarbonate molded on elastic metal thread, these are typically a feminine accessory which can become a bracelet.
Emotion and simplicity everyday and anywhere...

'Stem' for Cinna

The clean lines and basic forms of these tables and storage units appeared in 2007. Jourdan describes them as being 'Silent as a yacht's shell cutting water stem to stern'

Urban structure, Saint-Etienne station

Jourdan fans and connoisseurs will see in this fence-gate structure a logical follow-on to the designer's experiments in furniture-architecture, in particular the 'Traversants' set shown at the Peyroulet gallery in the year 2000: a series of free-standing partition pieces to mark separation in space as well as passage to another room.

It is a large openwork screen that fills two functions: channel and admit. Commenting on it, Jourdan says: 'The structure is there without being there: people have to be able to pass thru it and also feel its presence wherever they happen to be on the train station forecourt. There is also a reference to modernism in the definition of an open plan space, in the spirit of Mies van der Rohe'.
