© La Forge n°17 Intime What does remain private in an overexposed era that wavers between exhibitionism and discretion, transgression and a desire for serenity? The boundaries between public life and private life have become blurred. Our take on privacy is evolving in a very paradoxical way. For some, the desire to recreate a territory for oneself alone, away from the bustle of the world, has proved to be essential. For others, a rebellious agitation stages the overexposure of our violent or obscene desires. The home is unveiling our patches of shadow and light.
   
© La Forge n°16 Cohabitation We must learn how to live with one another, to reconcile the different generations and families with different configurations, cultures from elsewhere, the city and nature in an increasingly urban world. An overloaded world is looking for alternative ways of being together. After the days of “every man for himself,” the new decade is bringing together people’s energies in a spirit of sharing and renewed ties. The house is becoming a space of new urbanity that reconciles differences. The styles are looking to a major change toward very human well-being.
   
© La Forge n°15 ReGeneration Tomorrow is on the agenda. It is the end of a decade, and our times are letting go of the weight of nostalgia and showing external signs of mutation. We are regenerating ourselves in a poetic, polysensory home that looks at the future straight on. New decorative narratives are scheduling beneficial softness. Renewed serenity and harmonious sensuality are calming our bodies and minds. Hypotheses for a modernity in which man and beautiful things find their place – that of the wonders of betterness.
   
© La Forge n°14 ANTIDOTES Faced with a disoriented world wavering from crisis to crisis, the home has become, now more than ever, a safety value that leaves us dreaming of better living. In its modest, intimate way, that place for experimenting with change consoles us with antigloom remedies. There is no miracle solution. But all kinds of creation, know-how and technologies, colors and whimsy, elegance and quality of life are distilling a new positive energy.
   
© La Forge n°13 SIMPLE What if we made things simple? Quite simply. The season is abandoning bling, airs and graces. Faced with a complex and uncertain world, untidy and cluttered, future scenarios focus on the essential. Land and local produce are becoming valued again. Urbanites, missing having roots, appreciate a new balance between the city and the countryside. Nature and technology are finally replacing people at the heart of the ecosystem. Making room for the elegance of humble and modest objects. Touch wood. That is a nice way to live in your home.
   
© La Forge n°12 ONIRIQUE Houses in Wonderland. When the home invents a new inner life for itself, enchantment is never far off. Elisabeth Leriche, François Bernard and the NellyRodi style agency break the boundaries of new energies and offer up unexpected, hybrid, and bizarre aesthetics.
   
© La Forge n°11 us(e) Good news: We want to be responsible consumers. We no longer want to go on exhausting the planet's resources. In order to invent desirable development, we're creating new behaviors that are bringing back quality. More infos.
   
© La Forge n°10 CELEBRATION The house is celebrating new forms of conviviality and the desire to come together. To help us forget that every day isn't a party, our interiors take on different disguises at our whim.
   
© La Forge n°9 "EXOTIC" In its search for renewed horizons, the home is inaugurating imaginary geographies in order to escape the world's brutality.
