Tac Tic

When she left RADI designers, which she had cofounded, in 2003, the young French designer Florence Doléac decided to develop her own work. Remaining true to her principles, she ventured to produce objects with a distanced attitude colored by humor.

Her discourse treats themes as fundamental as our behavior in our familiar domestic surroundings, when doing housework, or in our free time. When we discover her creations we are constantly pushed to question anew how we sit down, eat, walk, lie down: she responds to questions of function and utility with wit and poetry.

This monograph presents her work in chronological order with commentaries. The exhibition at mudac (musée de design et d’arts appliqués contemporains) is documented in the book as a photo reportage.
Florence Doléac was awarded the coveted Prix de la presse pour les Arts et la Culture, the Globes de Cristal, in 2006. Since 2000 she has been teaching at the Ecole cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (ECAL).

Since 2003 she has been pursuing her own career as a designer. Her works are a dialogue between design and art, production and exhibition. The tension that results from that, her questioning of function and utility, and her responses with great wit and poetry make her an distinctive personality. Florence Doléac is a designer who is rising fast.
