Jean Tschumi Designer
Overview
Intro
The mudac is inaugurating its new exhibition space, Le Carré, with “Jean Tschumi Designer”.
With the headquarters of Vaudoise Assurances in Lausanne, Jean Tschumi created a true architectural masterpiece. His design, both rigorous and nuanced, aspires to transparency, lightness, and openness. It is a total work of art, where architecture, art, and design come together to form a whole of rare harmony and exceptional quality. As part of the restoration of this iconic building, Vaudoise Assurances commissioned Swiss studio BIG GAME to reissue the furniture designed by Tschumi specifically for the site.The “Jean Tschumi Designer” exhibition presents these reissues - armless chairs, a round marble and iron table, office chair, small table - manufactured by the renowned Swiss furniture maker Girserger (founded in 1889), alongside the original pieces carefully preserved by Vaudoise. These sets are accompanied by extensive documentation (photographs, films, archival documents) tracing the genesis of the project and the designer’s thinking. Archival materials from the period place the furniture in its original context, while contemporary documents shed light on the challenges involved in reissuing it: adaptation to current production methods, material and aesthetic requirements, and contemporary standards.
