French design was in full force this year at the Triennale, as presented by Via, an association that supports innovation in furnishing by French designers. Material innovation was a running themes throughout. Samuel Accoceberry's "Infinity shelf' uses thin strips of wood to create an organic track of shelving. Thorsten Franck's 'Tube Box' uses a styrofoam material to create playful, transportable cabinet/boxes. On the softer side, Joachim Jirou-Najou's 'Around" cabinet, incorporates felt doors that open and close around an interior shelf using magnets.
