Jury report

The submitted objects represent Frédéric Dedelley's wide range of work as a product designer. The pieces are characterised by clear lines and unadorned, intelligent design. At the same time, however, they are not just reasonably and ascetically designed objects, because they all radiate sensual dignity. They thus also reveal Frédéric Dedelley's marked sensitivity for spatial design. The wardrobe opens up a well-designed internal world, an independent space, which - as a boudoir - can be individually adapted to one's personal needs. The polystyrene stools, which are representative of the exhibition design of ‘Swiss Design 2003', are reminiscent of the atmospheric and respectful exhibition design at mu.dac in Lausanne. The polystyrene furniture, as a clear optical connection of the independent exhibition objects, pervaded the rooms, which were designed with a convincing colour concept, as if by prominent and clearly legible graphic art. Only details (such as the doors and drawers, which are somewhat noisy upon closing, and the white lacquered plate of the wardrobe) form a contrast to the otherwise extremely professional and coherent design and working.
