For Emmanuel Popoteur, the Future of Furniture is Modular
Popoteur debuted the Eclipse System at goodesign’s inaugural event at Awake's LES storefront, showcasing the set's versatility by building stools, coffee tables, dining tables, and even clothing hangers. The space also featured a curated collection of books by Storagebased, while a Christian Tokyo DJ set and Solomon Gottfried’s jazz quintet performed atop various pieces of goodesign furniture. For Popoteur, a Washington Heights native known for his innovative spirit, the event marked a significant milestone. He first made waves in the furniture world with his PVC pipe-constructed chair, which not only caught attention but also set the tone for his creative ethos: making the extraordinary from the ordinary — a philosophy that's clearly embedded in the DNA of the Eclipse System.
