From intimacy to sharing, a dream of harmony
With this object, I wanted to evoke childhood, its games, its imagination, and its mysteries. I also wanted to talk about encounters and diversity. There is what we naturally share and what we don't always see immediately, this game of “Cache-cache” (French translation for hide-and-seek) that engages with others and with ourselves.
Jérôme Marroc-Latour
With its immutable structure, the "Cache-cache" library speaks of what brings us together, of a common history. The diversity of the panels, of the objects sheltered, tells the uniqueness of our paths and encounters. A timeless game, certainly rooted in childhood, but one that each of us reproduces more or less consciously with our desires, dreams, and memories. Fictions, reality, 'I', 'we'... The object establishes an instant and playful dialogue with whoever appropriates it.
The Cache-cache library is also available in a polychrome hand painting limited edition. No back. Can be directly mounted on the wall

Jérôme Marroc-Latour
Jérôme Marroc-Latour was born in Marseille to a dockworker father and a stay-at-home mother. His earliest aesthetic emotions were sparked by cranes, giant gantries, construction sites, and ships in the city's autonomous port. It would take several stays in New York and Tokyo to solidify an attraction to large urban complexes and their diversity. Since his adolescence, he has been painting with encouragement from his paternal great-uncle. Cézanne, Matisse, Gauguin are some of his bedside painters. Quickly followed by African primitive sculptures, those of Brancusi, or more recently, Oscar Tuazon. The works of Charlotte Perriand, with her "fan-shaped" view of nature, open him up to modern design. The Bauhaus, the creations of Anni and Josef Albers, the architecture of Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, or the more democratized work of Fernand Pouillon... So many leading artists guide the first steps of a self-taught and instinctive creator, finding his way between a certain radicality and a search for harmony.
