Frédéric Dedelley’s projects are based not only on familiar design strategies such as research, analysis and the specifications of commissioned work but also on his photography. For the past decade, his small analogue camera has been a frequent companion, capturing unexpected situations, curious objects and surprisingly atmospheric moments of everyday life. His approach is intuitive rather than being motivated by the needs of a specific project. To date he has accumulated some 2000 photographs. The archive of impressions that he has discovered and collected resonates in his products and projects in space; it represents a study in perception that cannot but influence his work, whether consciously or unconsciously.
