The Portraits - Adrian Blanc

HEXAGON PORTRAITS 🎬

‍

For the sixth episode of Hexagone Portraits, we are sharing with you the interview with Adrian Blanc.

Adrian imagined the lines of our hexagreen solution and designed the hexagon stand for Workspace Expo 2024. You will therefore be able to discover the fruits of our collaboration on 26-27 and 28 March next 😉

Adrian has been a designer for over 10 years and works in the tertiary sector with renowned brands. He has been at the service of Beauty since the beginning of his career: for him “Beauty is Good” as he says here. During this interview, we therefore talked about design, but also about sustainability (since one is not without the other with us 😉)

‍

My name is Adrian Blanc and I am a designer.

If you had to describe yourself in 3 words?

In 3 words it would be creative, versatile and above all passionate.

Tea or coffee?

Coffee

An iconic design piece, if only one had to be mentioned?

I want to give something a little bit different: a prehistoric flint.

Beautiful or durable?

Handsome.

What does sustainability in the workplace mean?

Sustainability in a workspace for me means wanting to ensure that we work in conditions that are beautiful because for me Beauty is Good.

What do you like best about your job?

Draw. The challenge is to find your signature, that is to say to find what makes a drawing original or at least something signed.

Today everything exists and what I mean by that is how do we manage to ensure that a piece, that a drawing can emerge and be more interesting than the others and so that, for me, largely depends on the signature. But deep down, I always wanted to be a designer.

Moreover, I very often say that I don't have a job, I have a passion.

What are your main influences?

Everything about the Memphis movement and I really like architecture and especially brutalism.

Your relationship to the subject?

It is above all the use: what we are going to do with it, and the function we want to give. And after the material finally comes a second stage, it is not an excuse to create.

Hexagon to Workspace, what do we think?

Workspace is an opportunity to meet quite nice people and this is an opportunity to go visit and see in real life, to touch in real life products that come from sustainable development, to discover brand worlds, products that are always at the forefront of trends and even to exchange with people.

A living room is above all a place to meet people and it is a great opportunity to discuss in person with the people who are behind the products we use every day.
