For the third year running, Parisian design showroom Triode hosted American Design in Paris exhibition to coincide with the Winter Maison & Objet tradeshow. The annual exhibition has become a showcase for American design talent with previous exhibitions showing one-off and production pieces from the likes of Harry Allen, Paul Loebach, Matilde Alessandra and Moorhead & Moorhead. This year's show was a special collaboration with Roll & Hill and MatterMade. The roster of American designers included those who have previously showed at Triode as well as designers who were showing for the first time in Paris.
"The American Design in Paris exhibit at the Triode Design gallery was a beautiful collection of designers from New York City," explained Marc Thorpe who presented a new luminaire, "Pourquoi Pas," for the exhibition. "I was honored to be a part of the exhibition. In the future, I'd hope to see a larger exhibition of designers represented from across the United States. Merci!"
