A return to Arzu Firuz’s origins
In Arzu Firuz’s family, French is the common language. A mother born in Panama, a Turkish father, schooling at the French Secondary school of Istanbul, a diploma from the Duperré school in Paris. For the textile and product designer, cultural mixing turns out to be a source of creativity.
"My work reflects a return to one’s origins. Far from my country, I wanted to build a bridge from one culture to another, an entanglement of the worlds between the East and the West, between a sedentary way of life and nomadism, between the fabulous and everyday life", explains the former Talent à la Carte whose "nomadic objects" have already seduced the Milanese Rossana Orlandi and the Parisian shops of The Collection and Home autour du Monde. Her collection of rugs made of cut-out PVC simultaneously plays upon the rerouting of the traditional patterns used for Ottoman carpets which she reinterprets and the use of industrial materials: "I found that floor coverings were not sufficiently used. I wanted to confront an industrially-made product such as Polystil with a traditional crafts approach". With her husband, the designer Paul Hubert, the young designer is preparing other diversions for the next session of scènes d’intérieur: wall decorations made of sticky-backed foam rubber "in order to create a magical world and a resting place conducive to the imagination".
