« Adam lives on minimex* and is dedicated to his research on herbivore insects.
Eve lives on private income and spends much of her time in the Thalys.
When she has a little time, she likes to spend it in the kitchen with Adam, her
lifelong love.
This kitchen is their safe haven, place of reunion and privacy.
It was custom made listening to their needs by Louis Clais & Régis Jocteur Monrozier.
The Tranquil Kitchen of Adam and Eve is unique. They will realize your own, at home, with their expertise. »

The installation Cuisine Tranquille reproduces a traditional kitchen showroom. The standard classical modes of the showroom are modified to collate a set of innovative objects and functional furniture ('unique items available for custom application'). The kitchen is designed for a fictional couple, the Adam and Eve of a modern advertising narrative. The sculptural showrooms of Regis Jocteur Monrozier are surprising playlets, funny and generous, sitting between a 3D strip cartoon and the retouched chic of an early 80s publicity photo. Louis Clais creates decorative items, sculptures, prototypes and designs built like 'a wild garden in which young shoots and the old oaks live together'.

L’installation Cuisine Tranquille, qui reproduit un traditionnel showroom de cuisine en modifiant ses codes classiques, est composée d’un ensemble d’objets innovant et d’un mobilier fonctionnel (‘pièces uniques disponibles à la demande sur mesure’). La cuisine est conçue pour un couple fictif représentant Adam et Eve tels qu’ils seraient aujourd’hui suivant un story-telling publicitaire. Les installation-showrooms de Régis Jocteur Monrozier sont construites comme de surprenantes saynètes drôles et généreuses, pouvant faire penser à une BD en 3D ou à une très chic photo publicitaire début 80’s palettisée. Louis Clais crée différents objets décoratifs, sculptures, prototypes, dessins et modèles construits comme 'un jardin sauvage où les jeunes pousses et les vieux chênes vivraient ensemble'.

De installatie Cuisine Tranquille reproduceert een traditionele showroom van keukens waarvan de traditionele en klassieke codes aangepast worden om een nieuw ensemble te creëren van innovatieve objecten, een functionele inboedel (‘uniek maatwerk op vraag’). De keuken is ontworpen voor een fictief koppel, de Adam en Eva, gebracht in de narratieve technieken van de advertentiestrategie. Régis Jocteur Monrozier zijn sculpturale showrooms doen aan als een verrassend toneelstuk, grappig en gul tegelijkertijd, en houden zich ergens op tussen een 3D-stripverhaal en een mooie advertentiefoto uit de begin jaren 80. Louis Clais creëert decoratieve objecten, sculpturen, prototypes, tekeningen en modellen die tezamen 'een woeste tuin construeren waarin jonge groei en oude eiken samenleven'.
