Saint Laurent Rive Droite and Anthony Vaccarello are delighted to present an exclusive collaboration with Quasar Khanh

Saint Laurent Rive Droite and Anthony Vaccarello are delighted to present an exclusive collaboration with Quasar Khanh. On this occasion, two iconic pieces of furniture have been reedited for Saint Laurent Rive Droite: the Chesterfield sofa and the Chester armchair in a transparent smoky color. This collaboration pays tribute to Quasar Khanh’s pioneer spirit, bringing together Saint Laurent’s timeless elegance and the designer’s avant-garde approach. 

Quasar Khanh, born in Hanoi in 1934, was a visionary designer of the 20th century who became famous with his emblematic Aerospace line of inflatable furniture in 1968. His innovative creations throughout the 1960s and 1970s, free from any historical and cultural references, reflect his utopian spirit. Trained as an engineer, Quasar Khanh established a reputation in a variety of disciplines, from fashion to aircraft plans, as well as
 the architecture of futuristic cities. His work continues to inspire the great names in contemporary design. Major exhibitions of his work include the “Mobi Boom” exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs de Paris
 in 2010, as well as in the permanent collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. 

These reeditions are not only pieces of furniture but actual works of art that capture the essence of visionary furniture and innovation for design enthusiasts. 

From July 16th to August 20th at Saint Laurent Rive Droite in Los Angeles, several original Quasar Khanh pieces will be displayed, as well as archive photographs. To celebrate this collaboration, Saint Laurent Editions will publish a book on Quasar Khanh’s work, also available for sale at Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles, Saint Laurent Babylone and on YSL.COM.
