Camouflage Dazzle

After having sailed in the waters of abstraction, in those of pop art and in homage to the great artists and pictorial movements of the 20th century, Camerus once again relies on a resolutely artistic and dynamic vision for his communication.
To do this, Studio Camerus has drawn its inspiration from a very little-known form of graphic expression from the beginning of the 20th century, Dazzle / Razzle. Little known, because it was not necessarily “Artistic” in the beginning, since it was primarily a military step.

It consisted in camouflaging, by painting, the ships during the 1st world war.
Attributed to artist Norman Wilkinson, this camouflage is based on the creation of intricate patterns formed of tangles of irregular lines and very contrasting colors, in order to break the silhouette of the ship.
Widely used in the last year of the First World War,less during the Second World War,it became obsolete because of advances in telemetry and the advent of a new detection technique: radar.
This technique will subsequently prove to be a real graphic invention since it will participate in the reflection on Cubism and by extension in that of abstraction in general.

We have found in this “Art” a unique way of making the link between furniture, its use and its environment.
The furniture absorbs the decor and the decor the furniture. The result is the creation of a fusional space which maintains a complete osmosis between surface and volume, an absolute entanglement of 2D and 3D.
The message we are trying to get across with this concept is the expression of our desire to always want to place furniture at the service of decor. The furniture remains a discreet but essential player in the style and choices of the decorator.
