一位领先的工业设计师和法国稻草工匠相遇，五年后，他们成为了设计合作伙伴。Arthur Seigneur和Adam Goodrum的情况就是这样，一封来自Arthur的电子邮件，将两人联系到一起。Arthur是一名法国侨民，近期移居至澳大利亚。

A leading industrial designer and French straw artisan walk into a bar and five years later they emerge as design partners. This is how it was for Arthur Seigneur and Adam Goodrum, except instead of a bar, it was a cold email from Arthur, the  French expat who had recently arrived in Australia.

墨尔本设计周期间，A+A在Tolarno Galleries画廊展出了三件令人难以置信的家具。17世纪的稻草镶嵌工艺在全世界只有25位工匠能够掌握。其中一位是Arthur Seigneur，据他所知，他是唯一在澳大利亚执业的律师。它即将成为一种失传的艺术。

Now the pair is known as A+A, and are exhibiting three pieces of mind-boggling cabinetry at Melbourne Design Week in Exquisite Corpse, presented by Tolarno Galleries.he 17th-century craft of straw marquetry is only practised by 25 artisans around the world. One of those is Arthur Seigneur and to his knowledge, he is the only one practising in Australia. It’s on the edge of becoming a lost art.

这对合作伙伴创造了三件不可思议的细木家具，Adam负责设计了书柜，塔台和控制台，由橡木和白枫木制成。由Arthur仅用一把手术刀、一把尺子和一把木胶，利用稻草镶嵌技术将4000多根反光的黑麦麦秆条覆盖在每一件作品的表面，这些麦秆条是从勃艮第进口的，手工染成定制的色调。

A+A have created three pieces of incredible cabinetry decorated with straw marquetry by Arthur’s expert hand. Adam designed the credenza, tallboy and console, made from oak and white maple. Using just a scalpel, ruler and wood glue, Arthur has painstakingly covered the surface of each piece with more than 4,000 slivers of reflective rye straw, imported from Burgundy and hand-dyed in custom hues.

Adam和Arthur把颜色和图案结合在一起，形成了一个层层叠叠的万花筒，灵感来自一朵莲花的对称造型。镶嵌参差错落的颜色，赋予每件作品强烈的活力，以及微妙的奇幻纹理。

Adam and Arthur envisioned the colours and patterns together, resulting in a cascading kaleidoscopic design inspired by the concentric symmetry of a lotus blossom. The marquetry runs in contrasting directions and colours, giving each piece an intense dynamism, as well as subtle texture.

这次展览的名字来源于超现实主义的法国室内游戏cadavre is(“精致的尸体”)，在这款游戏中，素描奇怪的解剖插图。Adam解释说:“我们两人都不可能独立创作出这些作品，但我们一起创造了一些新的、独特的东西。”

 

The exhibition takes its title from the surrealist French parlour game cadavre exquis (‘exquisite corpse’), where anonymous group sketches often resulted in disjointed and bizarre anatomical illustrations. Similarly unexpected collaborative outcomes are repeated in A+A’s process. ‘Neither of us would have come up with these works independently, but together we’ve created something new and distinctive,’ explains Adam.
