Bureau Idéal is a duo formed by Giada Ganassin (born in Ivrea, Italy, in 1988) and François Bonnot (born in Choisy-le-Roi in 1991). Together, they use decor to animate the inanimate, reveal what is no longer seen, and blur the line between art and design. In their practice, the relationship between form and landscape is central. Bureau Idéal brings stories to life, inviting us to read the surfaces of objects and spaces as if through the pages of a book or the frames of an animated film, sometimes in an infinite loop.
François Bonnot has drawn from his design studies a taste for the sign: he likes to understand what an object signifies, what it says about us, about the one who makes it, and about the one who uses it.
Giada Ganassin seeks in images a form of universality, a language that allows everyone to project themselves, to appropriate, and to feel with or in place of the characters.
