Ettore Sottsass: Shapes, Colors, and Symbols

May 9th – June 30th, 2024

“I have tried as best as I can to gather together the terms of a new vitality and, where and how I was able, to collect the shapes, colors and symbols that could represent the change in the images of this century from an intellectual organization to a reality that must be lived, to a kind of pure and vital energy.” Ettore Sottsass writing in Domus, 1963.

Raisonné is pleased to present Ettore Sottsass: Shapes, Colors, and Symbols, a survey of work by the revolutionary Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007). Comprising over 100 pieces spanning five decades, the exhibition gives a glimpse of the impressive range of the maestro, who revolted against sterile modernism, creating objects that had a vibrational, almost human presence, characterized by electric colors. “You don’t save your soul just painting everything white,” he once wrote, in his famous all-caps script.

Adélie Ducasse: Color Field

April 10th – May 6th, 2024

Raisonné is pleased to present Adélie Ducasse for her first solo exhibition in the United States.

Adélie was born in 1985 in Paris, spending her childhood between the islands of New Caledonia and Réunion. As a young girl, she was drawn to design and primitive shapes, appreciating the colors and repetitive features of her surroundings. Her love of form continued to grow as she pursued a career in luxury fashion houses, with a focus on footwear. Adélie began at Dior in the press department followed by a deep dive into shoe development spurred by her time with Laurence Dacade, Chanel’s shoe designer. This path led her to work both at Marc Jacobs and Lanvin developing shoe wear in Italy and New York City.

Gyuhan Lee: Building Boxes

December 14th, 2023 – January 13th, 2024

Raisonné is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Korean artist/designer, Gyuhan Lee in North America.

Lee’s work focuses on the impact of everyday waste, which gives rise to the contemplative exploration of design in an era of post-consumerism. His work transforms the iconic brand logos of NIKE and McDonald’s, reincarnating the by products of mass production into thoughtfully crafted pieces of design.

Tremaine’s Distinction: A social critique of the judgements of taste through the lens of furniture

December 14th, 2023 – January 13th, 2024

Tremaine Emory is the founder of Denim Tears, and is a modern day Renaissance man. He utilizes the art of visual storytelling as a Trojan horse to traverse the intersection between fashion, music, and culture.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in Jamaica, Queens New York. Tremaine has avalanched himself as an edifying tour de force. His cross-generational group of collaborators and co-conspirators reads like a “who’s who” of subculture today: Theaster Gates, Hank Willis Thomas, Virgil Abloh, Frank Ocean, Andre 3000, and Serge Becker, among many others.
