Thanks to Galerie Magazine for this article about our Alps exhibition ! 

When Amelie du Chalard invited curator Alban Roger to imbue her New York City gallery with the essence of winter, she likely didn’t expect a full-fledged overhaul into an alpine landscape. But the invitation coincided with the launch of Monte, a Dominican collectible design brand named after the Spanish word for “mount” that Roger recently founded with Andres Gomez and Jorge Brown Cott, so snow-covered mountains were top of mind. Inspired by erosion and the quiet majesty of natural forces, Roger’s sculptural tables take pride of place with French artist Arthur Vallin’s sculptural musings on the cyclical nature of seasons. They look perfectly at home within an immersive scenography by renowned French paper maker Atelier d’Offard, which crafted an otherworldly cave-like setting that reflects winter’s all-encompassing quiet.
