We were lucky to be invited by our friend JB to discover the wonderful colourful world of Pierre Charpin at MAC’s Grand Hornu. Pierre Charpin was trained in visual art but has been working in the design field for 20 years. He has been edited by prestigious brands such as Alessi, Ligne Roset, Zanotta… His work is all about colour and form, the objects he designs are beautiful, simple and practical.
As you enter the space you are hit by a coral colour matt floor. Different areas present his objects, with here and there some intruders: abstract black shapes, a piece of cole (the museum is estabished in an ancient mine site), a walking stick… We admire his line drawings and colour research.

Small enamelled grog (clay) tables.
Bellow the famous “Carafe eau de Paris”.
