Founded in 2018 by Irish designer Eimear Ryan, Argot is a creative design studio based in Paris with a focus on the exploration of spaces and the objects that fit within them. Realising these concepts until now via the ‘Phelim series’ of solid wood modular furniture, Eimear principally works with her father who makes the oak pieces by hand in Ireland. Objects include ‘Argot vases’ 3D printed in renewable biomass developed and printed in Paris. Past works include projects in art direction, spacial design & scenography.
What inspires you?
Architecture around me in France and wherever I travel. More and more I’m inspired by nature at home in Ireland, I’m really intrigued by the relationship between nature and design and what’s coming next in terms of sustainable homes and spaces.
Describe your creative process.
I sketch ideas when they come to me, I often set them aside and review them months later, if it still strikes me as beautiful I will carry on working on it, editing it and prototyping.
