Collection
French designer Marc Ferrand found his inspiration in the Mediterranean Sea. The Parole vases, mirror the shape of the iconic Mediterranean terracotta floor tile. However, its thin, transparent glass walls contrast beautifully with the earthy material of the original tile, creating a delicate play of light. The name Parole (“word”) hints at the vase’s modular nature. You can line up several pieces simply by placing them side by side, like words forming a sentence. The more vases you connect, the more poetic the composition becomes.
Designer
Marc Ferrand is a French architect and designer based in Nice. He graduated as an industrial designer from the École Bleue in Paris in 2006. Since then, he has been working with Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, for whom he is responsible for industrial design and both nomadic and temporary architecture. In 2017, Ferrand founded his own agency: Atelier Marc Ferrand.
Ferrand develops industrial design in collaboration with international companies and works on emergency aid projects. In addition, he continuously researches the relationship between form, the human body and architecture. One of his most famous emergency aid projects is a memorial project following Storm Alex in 2020, which caused extensive damage in south-eastern France; for this project, he used driftwood washed ashore to assemble furniture.
Recent projects include Mediterranean Stones, a jewellery collection, and Jamais Content for Bottega Ghianda, which was selected for the Compasso d'Oro, a prestigious Italian industrial design award. Ferrand is also the co-designer of Navire Avenir, a 69-metre catamaran that serves as a lifeboat on the high seas, a project developed by survivors, rescue workers, artists, lawyers, researchers and students from across Europe.
For Serax he has designed the Parole vases collection, inspired by the Mediterranean Sea.
