Presented in New York in 2008, Beyond offered an immersion into Andrée Putman’s universe, balancing architectural rigor with the sensitivity of the gesture. The exhibition traced her career through a selection of furniture, objects, and emblematic projects, revealing the essence of a style where simplicity becomes a language.
The scenography, playing with chiaroscuro, geometry, and transparency, reflected her pursuit of balance and light, characteristic of the designer. Each piece engaged in a dialogue as if within an interior museum, inviting visitors to perceive the beauty of detail, the precision of proportion, and the clarity of a thought in motion. Conceived as a tribute, Beyond Style encouraged reflection on Andrée Putman’s legacy: an art of restraint and freedom, where design rises to the level of a sensitive, immersive experience.
