Liliane Bettencourt 2013 Prize for Intelligence of the Hand, has awarded : Eric Benqué, designer, Frederic Richard, gilder, Emmanuel Joussot, cabinet maker, the "Dialogues 2013 Award" for their work "Sellettes", part of the collection "Traits d'Union", a limited edition presented by Mouvements Modernes Gallery.

Eric Benqué has featured his "Sellettes" as two elements to be assembled in many different ways, so as to create different lighting and staging effects, depending of what will be displayed on them. This could only be achieved by bringing together the designer, a cabinetmaker and a gilder, with whom he began a close dialogue, fruitful exchanges and adjustments. By bringing their skills, Emmanuel Joussot from Paris Ecole Boulle, and Frederic Richard, an expert in gilding and carving, have made possible the development of the project.
