In this special episode of the REMORANDOM video podcast, Remo gets to chat with longtime friend and hyper-inventive Parisian designer François Scali about about his early career in Paris; his pivot to furniture, lighting and object design with “Nemo” in partnership with Alain Domingo in the early 1980s; his big break at the Pompidou Centre with the “Genitron” and its celebration of the Year 2000; the abrupt end of that 13 year lucky streak as soon as we’d all reached that symbolic civilisational milestone; and the return to his design roots 25 years later with Tribute to Nemo in collaboration with Gallery Signé. What does all of this have to do with how you get undressed before getting into bed? Listen to find out.

About REMO

REMO was founded as a General Store in Sydney in 1988, and was famous for its mail order catalogues. Those catalogues were the inspiration for REMORANDOM, but this new leg of the REMO journey is not so much about selling THINGS, as it is about telling STORIES … in celebration of what’s interesting. Inspiring curious minds.
