We sought to create a clock that evoke the movement of time through form. With no numbers or added signs, it’s the very deformation of the material that draws the hours and suggests a suspended rotation. The earliest ways of measuring time relied on the movement of light and shadows. As a contemplative reflection of […]

Midday
Midday is a lamp made from little. Its thin aluminium frame pinches a technical fabric sheet, giving it a curved shape. Normally used to filter natural light, we moved this solar control fabric away from its original context to use it on artificial light. When the lamp is turned on, the lampshade reveals only the […]

Each part of the chair and table is assembled using only screws, without welding. This screwed construction celebrate the fastener components as an aesthetic commitment. The thirteen allen screws needed to assemble […]
J
J is a collection of cast aluminium wall hooks. It is directly linked to our project Quincaillerie, which was a series of self produced ceramic hooks. We have selected five shapes that we have transposed from the crafted process to an industrial process. The original ceramics are used as counter-forms to produce moulds for casting […]
The Gardener’s Chair
This chair is a project made for Slanted/enchanted, an exhibition that celebrates handmade experimentation and improvised production methods. An exhibition curated by Jamie Wolfond and talking place at Erin Stump Project Gallery. «The Gardener had a broken chair. He fixed it with an old garden hose.» Behind this story, this project is about how we […]
Design exhibition, VIA
For VIA (Le French design) we have designed a flexible exhibition system that allows three sets of objects to be presented, through three successive exhibitions. Roll mirror films and yellow tape are rolled up or unrolled depending on the placement of the pieces in the gallery for each exhibition. Placed facing the windows, the one-way […]
Tondo, for Cinna
Tondo is a wall mirror produced by the french company Cinna. The design has been driven by CNC wire bending machine process. These machines (which allows very quick pieces making) induced a single continuous line drawing. We draw it as a loop in which the mirror is then simply slid and maintained without requiring fixation.
Quincaillerie
Quincaillerie is an unlimited self-produced series of coat hooks. The production follows a method which starts with the extrusion of clay logs, as an initial basic profile open to formal variations. Logs are then cut to the desired length, spontaneously deformed without prior drawing, and finally pressed at the screws locations. Each piece is unique […]
Exèdre
Originally, the exedra is a half circular monumental stone bench located in public gardens during ancient Greece and Rome. We wanted to re-design this antique piece in our own way, keeping the symbolic shape but depriving the spectacular and massive dimension. The circular typology is an opposition to the predominance of flux science in our […]
La Cité
Researches, 1:10 models and drawings (50 x 65 cm)La Cité is an open question about our public spaces. We explored an image of a city where the designer could draw streetscape furniture as freely as he is when he draw private furniture. Without defining a specific context, we began this reflexion by considering public space […]
Inselberg
Inselberg is a bleacher for interior collective spaces (such as public library, hall station, universities, museum halls…). The construction is based on the repetition of a bent laminated poplar piece. This 25cm wide layer can be repeated over and over along a trestle like feet. The object length can thus be defined according to the […]
Plimpton 322
Hybrid of a wall lamp, a floor lamp and a pendant, Plimpton 322 is a light source that can be used in different ways. The lamp shape create a special relationship with the space because of its need to find a bearing point or a suspension element. This lamp asks for some practice, discovery and […]
Des Vases
Des Vases/This project is a collection where each vase is composed of several independent pieces which can be put together. As an assembly game, this repertoire of shapes, materials and colors let the constructions and deconstructions open to different compositions. Drawings was the central medium and essential tool to reach this vase idea which take a […]
Tombolo
Tombolo is a public bench that plays with the domestic typology of daybeds with bolster pillows. As armrests, headrests or just as partitions, the wood cylinders are movable along the bench. Everyone is free to play with it as desired and needed. The bench is built with wood profiles. They are cut at the good […]
Workshop
In 2019-2020 we animated the annual design workshops for 8 to 16 years old kids at Villa Noailles. With the younger ones (8 to 12 years old), we built over the year a shared space at their scale. They created a whole room where their personal creations met and gathered into a common and modular […]
