Alnoor invents the objects of everyone’s desires
Alnoor can’t live without his drawing pad.
This French-Indian designer draws like he breathes the perfume bottles for fashion houses such as Hermès, Nina Ricci, Davidoff or Marina de Bourbon. But also packagings for Dunhill, Dior, Trussardi or jewellery for Artus-Bertrand. And yet still more with the Kaktussimo incense-holder for the Val Saint Lambert crystal glass-makers or lamps that are as precious as jewels. He wants the objects to tell a story with a poetic and emotional aspect to them. The common factor between these eclectic designs: "Aesthetics are never unwarranted. Above all, it is the usefulness which speaks out. Every object is the bearer of a story. It has a soul. One desires to possess it and to keep it. Each one of my creations has a meaning: stemming from a thinking process on the semantics, my objects contain a symbolic message where randomness has no place", explains this designer who created a perfume in the shape of a chandelier pendant which exists in a limited series of 225 copies for Swarovski. From his Indian culture, this designer with an atypical background retained "a different approach to colour". The superimposing of tones gives both strength and a chromatic wealth to his orientalist-inspired and baroque designs. But he also admits to having a "very pronounced taste for art deco and for ornamentation as in the French 18th century". As he awaits the presentation, in September, of a collection he designed for Haviland, Alnoor rounds up his creative world in a space within the Village Saint-Paul that is prettily entitled the Galerie des Convoitises (Gallery of Everyone’s desires).
