Milan Design Week 2026 – Contemporary Design & Craftsmanship

SECOND REST — a collectible design piece at the crossroads of heritage and contemporary creation. We present SECOND REST, a collectible design piece created in collaboration with Dominique Picquier and Régis Protière, unveiled at Milan Design Week 2026, one of the most influential events on the international design scene. This work is part of the exhibition curated by Hauts Reliefs: “When 18th and 19th century furniture meets contemporary design and craftsmanship.” Presented in Milan from April 20 to 26, 2026, SECOND REST embodies an approach to sustainable and collectible design, rooted in the dialogue between furniture heritage and contemporary creation. More than a piece of furniture, it is a reinterpretation of a Louis-Philippe armchair into a unique collectible furniture piece: an individual seat transformed into a convivial space, where craftsmanship, design and heritage interact with clarity and intention.

Hauts Reliefs — rethinking heritage furniture through contemporary design

Founded by Pauline Deschamps, Hauts Reliefs is an association committed to reinterpreting antique furniture through the lens of contemporary design and craft expertise. As she explains: “These pieces are not just objects. They carry the memory of homes, families, and gestures passed down from master to apprentice. To abandon them is to break a chain of transmission. To transform them is to allow them to continue living.” Through its first collection, Hauts Reliefs offers a contemporary reading of furniture heritage, fostering collaborations between designers and artisans. Each piece becomes a singular design object — sustainable, desirable and rooted in history, addressing today’s challenges in responsible and collectible design.

Dominique Picquier & Régis Protière — textile and furniture design

Dominique Picquier and Régis Protière have established themselves as key figures in contemporary textile and furniture design. Dominique Picquier develops textile collections known for their strong visual identity, shaped by a sensitive observation of nature and materials. Régis Protière is notably recognized for the Lizzie chair, edited by Pallucco, which has become an iconic design piece. Together, they founded the Picquier & Protière studio, a creative space where their practices intersect across textile, furniture and formal research.
