Studio Joachim-Morineau collection “Archetypes” is a furniture collection, which visually and structurally incorporates ancient Roman architectural elements.


Inspired by emblematic edifices such as Pont du Gard (Roman aqueduct, FR) and ruins from the Parco Archeologico del Colosseo in Rome, the two designers translate these classic sculptural languages into a new industrial aesthetic.


Composed of pedestals, a cabinet, a table, a light installation and more. The collection shows another aspect of Studio Joachim-Morineau.

Bookcase

 





PEGMA is a bookcase inspired by Roman aqueducts such as the Pont du Gard in France. We mainly were inspired by the pillars rhythms and interspaces found in the conventional aqueduct architectures.


From spacious intervals on the ground level to smaller ones on the higher ones. The etymology of the word PEGMA can be found in the ancient greek and Latin languages: its meaning is “bookcase”.

AEDES

Table

 





AEDES is a dining table inspired by the ruins from the temple of Apollo Sosianus in Rome. The three re-erected and existing columns of this temple in Rome were the main inspiration for the legs of the Aedes table.


Moreover, its original cornice/frieze became our industrial structure which supports the Getacore tabletop. The etymology of Aedes comes from the Latin word “temple”.
