Gaspard Live is an explorer. Physically, he moves from place to place looking for inspiration in new settings. Aesthetically, he explores new avenues for whimsical furniture design that are informed by his travels. His ethos is that design is a living culture, something that changes as we observe it, interact with it, and build on it. The above pictured patio set is typical of Live: it uses the delicacy of a butterfly’s wings to create form, and works with the light base to exude softness, fantasy, and an awakening imagination. Live has created an online place to share his observations with a community of designers and artists, in order to build a conversation and improve his work.
