Sophie Dries : l'audacieuse
La jeune designer et architecte Sophie Dries a reçu Le Trait dans son appartement showroom du boulevard Beaumarchais à Paris dans le 11e arrondissement. Affectée d'un gros rhume et en partance pour New-York, Sophie Dries prend néanmoins le temps de la rencontre. Elle se prête à l'exercice avec une totale bienveillance et un sourire inaltérable.
Dans son intérieur, on comprend très vite que Sophie, lauréate du prix Coup de cœur des AD & Land Rover Awards 2022, n'aime rien tant que l'expérimentation et la recherche notamment sur les matières. Après 5 ans passés au sein de trois grandes agences parisiennes (Pierre Yovanovitch, Christian Liaigre, Jean Nouvel), Sophie n'hésite pas à créer ses propres pièces pour elle-même et ses clients.
Sophie Dries a notamment décoré la boutique Roger Vivier, Arturo Arita ...Sophie n’aime rien tant que rentrer dans un univers et faire une proposition inédite.
D'origine franco-algérienne, Kabyle plus précisément, Sophie Dries, mélange les époques et les styles. Diplômée de l'ENSA Paris-Malaquais, elle a également suivi un cursus en design à l'université Alvar Aalto à Helsinki. L’architecte est aujourd'hui à la tête de sa propre agence avec un bureau à Paris, un autre à Milan. Elle fait incontestablement partie des créatrices à suivre…
Verbatim
« Les études d’architecture en France ne sont pas du tout comme les études dans le monde anglo-saxons où il y a plus de moyens. J’ai voulu compléter par un cursus en Scandinavie. Il y a beaucoup d’ateliers pour exposer, donner aux objets une réalité dans le monde de l’industrie, les produire... »
« J’ai monté mon studio à 27 ans en solo mais ce n’était pas du tout facile. Ce sont des doutes tout le temps, aujourd’hui encore ! ... »
« Pas facile d’être une femme dans un milieu masculin notamment sur un chantier ... mais quand on gagne le respect, on est plus respecté que les hommes ! ».
« Il faut assumer que la décoration c’est Paris désormais. Il y a plus de décorateurs à Paris que dans aucune autre ville du monde ».
« Décorer une boutique pour quelqu’un, c’est presque dresser un portrait... »

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
