AMMONITE 

Ammonite is a free standing bookcase built in solid carbon steel comprising 15 coiled cubes using the planispiral pattern of fossil architecture.

Noe spent a year studying mathematical fractional theories before elaborating this structure using progressively shrinking and magnifying chambers to define its full circular shape. After 6 months of careful engineering and skilful execution by Stefano Ronchetti, third generation metal specialists in Como, Italy, Ammonite fuses delicate lines with core metal strength. The colour gradient from black to carboned silver elegantly enhances the relationship through the tones and movements of the cubes. Noe Duchaufour Lawrance first qualified as a metal sculptor like his father, and then as a designer at the prestigious Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Enriched by these different experiences, Noe designs, objects, commercial and private residences, with the same blend of monumental form and organic grace. In 2007 Noe had the opportunity to display his unique vision, taking the creative lead for London avant-garde restaurant, Sketch. Awards for his work include Red Dot Design 2011, Gold Neocon 2010, and Wallpaper and Elle Deco 2009.
