I FEEL ANGRY AWAKE BURNING TRAPPED IN A HAZE WORLD QUEL SENS ? A SIGH SPARK FLAME MASKS ENDLESS DREAMS CONCRETE COMFORT IN A HAZE WORLD BREATHING SPACE ESCAPE QUEL SENS ? NUCLEAR POWER? NO THANKS’! The ‘‘Smiling Sun’’ was created in 1975 in Denmark. Within a few years the logo was translated from Danish into over 50 languages and rapidly became the most common symbol in the anti-nuclear power movement worldwide. The Chernobyl nuclear melt down in 1986 caused a massive set back for the nuclear industry but as the industry promoted a come back for nuclear power the anti-nuclear campaign also gained momentum again, fuelled by the growing issue of climate change. But it was the 2011 Fukushima catastrophe in Japan that gave the campaign a remarkable push and convinced countries like Germany to follow the ‘‘Smiling Sun’s’’ message and to shut down all its nuclear power plants. So far Germany, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland are the only countries who have committed themselves to a nuclear power phase-out, following in the footsteps of Italy which was the first and only country in the world to close all of its functioning nuclear plants after the Chernobyl accident. Études collaborates with the founders of the ‘‘Smiling Sun’’. A collection celebrating the anti-nuclear movement that embodies the new generation’s environmental consciousness. Le ‘‘Smiling Sun’’ a été créé en 1975 au Danemark. En l’espace de quelques années, le logo a été traduit en plus de 50 langues, et est rapidement devenu le symbole le plus connu du mouvement antinucléaire mondial. En 1986, l’accident de Tchernobyl a provoqué un énorme recul de l’industrie nucléaire, et tandis que celle-ci tentait de se relancer, la campagne antinucléaire a gagné en dynamisme, alimentée par le problème grandissant du changement climatique. La catastrophe de Fukushima au Japon en 2011 a donné un formidable élan à la campagne antinucléaire et a convaincue des pays comme l’Allemagne d’adhérer au message du ‘‘Smiling Sun’’ visant à fermer toutes ses centrales. À ce jour, l’Allemagne, la Belgique, l’Espagne et la Suisse sont les seuls pays qui s’engagent à sortir progressivement du nucléaire, suivant l’exemple de l’Italie, le premier et seul pays au monde à avoir fermé toutes ses centrales opérationnelles après l’événement de Tchernobyl. Études crée une collection capsule en collaboration avec les fondateurs du ‘‘Smiling Sun’’. Une collection qui rend hommage au mouvement antinucléaire et reflète une prise de conscience des nouvelles générations autour de la question écologique.
