rente ans déjà que son « équilibre dans le paradoxe »
engendre des décors saisissants, élégants mais faciles
à vivre, actuels mais intemporels. René Desjardins élève
le design au rang d’art, tout en imaginant des solutions
astucieuses qui magnifient le quotidien et rendent les gens
heureux. « Pour moi, un bon design est un design vrai », affirme
avec conviction cet inconditionnel du Bauhaus, de Le Corbusier
et Mies van der Rohe. « Mon rôle, c’est d’organiser bellement
la vie. De penser au moindre petit détail — l’emplacement
d’une prise de courant ou d’une bouche de climatisation, par
exemple — pour que tout soit fonctionnel, pratique, absolument
confortable et, à la fois, empreint de beauté. J’aime les contrastes,
le minimaliste et le foisonnant, le luxe et la simplicité, le brut et
le raffiné, le chaud et le froid. C’est peut-être ce qui me caractérise
le mieux, cet heureux mariage des contraires, comme ces vieilles
boîtes à fleurs en bois patinées par le temps que j’ai déjà posées
sur une somptueuse table de salle à manger en cristal étincelant. »
All around the house, the shifting displays
put on by the natural world outside aren’t
to be missed. And the splash of natural
colour really brings the silk grey walls and
matte white mouldings to life.
Luceplan suspended light, Triede Design.
T
hirty years ago and his “balance in the paradox” was already
adding up to extraordinary décors: elegant but ready to
live in, contemporary yet timeless. René Desjardins has
made design an art form, all the while coming up with clever
solutions that magnify everyday life and bring a smile to faces.
“For me, a good design is a true design,” says Desjardins, an ardent
admirer of the Bauhaus school, not to mention Le Corbusier and
Mies van der Rohe. “My role is to organize life and give things
a nudge in the right direction. I think of every little detail—where
a socket or vent should go—so that everything works and it’s all
practical, totally comfortable, and beautiful, too. I like contrasts:
being minimalist here and lavish there, sumptuous and simple,
raw and refined, hot and cold. That’s perhaps what I’m best
known for: the happy coming together of contrasts, like the old
wooden flower boxes which were starting to show their age that
I set on a gorgeous dining table made from glittering crystal.”

(Re-)Emerging Montréal
O
n le croit morose et voilà qu’il renaît…
plus effervescent, énergique et créatif que
jamais. Montréal ne cesse de se réinventer,
au rythme de ses festivals et de ses événements,
à la faveur de sa mixité culturelle, mais surtout,
sous l’impulsion d’hommes et de femmes
visionnaires, instigateurs d’un éventail de projets
précurseurs. Petit tour d’horizon du Montréal
émergent, celui des quartiers qui bougent et qui
proposent au visiteur curieux un foisonnement
unique d’expériences à la gloire des sens.
J
ust as people were beginning to write Montréal
off, it’s back: bigger, brighter, and more creative
than ever. It’s a city that is forever reinventing
itself, with world-renowned festivals and events,
an enviable blend of world cultures, and—perhaps
the key ingredient—trail-blazing men and women
behind a host of bold projects. So come with us
on a quick tour of a city that’s back with a bang,
a city of happening neighbourhoods and a
treasure trove of unique experiences just waiting
to be discovered.
