Assi / Joseph MEIDAN
1987/Ongoing
Working between object, space, and material research. His practice focuses on transformation — observing how materials shaped by construction, use, and time can be redirected through minimal intervention.
His work often begins with situations encountered in everyday environments: construction sites, industrial components, or standardized building systems. Through processes of collection, assembly, and displacement, these elements are recontextualized without erasing their origin.
Moving between unique pieces and evolving systems, his projects explore the moment where functional structures shift into objects of domestic or spatial presence. Light, support, and construction recur as central themes, approached as ongoing investigations rather than fixed forms.
Alongside independent works, he develops Brut Hardware, a modular aluminum framework conceived as an open structure capable of adapting across furniture, exhibition, and architectural contexts.

Venir Voir Venir - Lafayette Anticipations
An exhibition presented by the Fondation d’entreprise Galeries Lafayette.
"I like to portray my work in the fondation as a product of a dialogue between a monument and a living room.
During the five months as a resident, I developed a certain sensibility to what was there when I arrived and what felt like is about to disappear, I wanted to preserve the objects I saw, physically and mentally. On the small body of work made of lights, dust, marble and metal shelves I’m describing a sensation of time, and the remaining memories when time is over."
