Seeking change and progress is a way of presenting the past in contemporary terms and regaining possession of it, by developing absolutely new shapes. Sculptures-Jeux looks to 2012 for a renewed brand image above all. This new image aims at expressing the strength of history and the decisive traits of the future, thus consciously finding its place on the international contemporary scene.

The widening of traditional collections involves the introduction of new finishes and graphic patterns, such as those for Abet Laminati designed by Paola Navone, or unusual material textures and "writeable" surfaces unleashing free imagination in composing by children and adults alike, in a play of colour matching and tactile perception to be discovered.

Bernard and Ariane Vuarnesson's creations are characterized first of all by the Made in Italy design, the result of their cooperation with Bragagnolo group. The company was chosen by them since their origins for its high-quality woodwork, this cooperation led to partnership in setting up Eppi's for the marketing of Sculptures-Jeux branded products. The mutual trust and the long-standing relationship led to the ideal merger of the two companies: today Eppi's takes inspiration from Sculptures-Jeux's spiritual and mental heritage and gives it new life. The care for details and the search for innovative materials, coupled with constant experimentation in an environmentally friendly context, are the core principles of the company's philosophy, thus making its collections unique. The pureness and simplicity of the intersections between different parts of the structures confer these objects a freedom of expression in any living environment.

Each item stirs up naive surprise and spontaneous awe, the exploration of a visual game and of the return to spontaneity, where each unexpected event is the opportunity for new discovery. From a delicate ornamental balance up to the liveliest chromatism, every detail shows the designers' sensitivity and competence giving life to Sculptures-Jeux, with items finding shape in sculptures, in order to play in one's own home.
