... FROM THE IDEA...
Working with wood is a constant dialogue with it. You can't work with wood without continually observing its demands, its limits, its refusals, its promises... It begins with an inner reflection. A seed of an idea, a concept, an object that you make your own through hours of contemplation. Between the ideal object, the one you want to create, and the final object, the one you can make with what you have. In a simple workshop. Cut off from the world, yet fully connected to the world.
... TO THE TOUCH ...
Wood is touched with the eyes. It is seen with the fingers. But it reveals its soul through gesture. The gesture of sketches, then plans made of lines, curves, shapes, and reliefs... Then it lends itself to tools, machines, and hands, provided we take our time and respect it at every moment. The tree has given its life. Let us return it to it with dignity.
...UNIQUE PIECES ...
With its robustness and original beauty, wood naturally invites us to combine beauty with utility: beauty and functionality are inseparable.
Function in elegance is the path I keep in mind in each of my new projects, hoping to create an object in which they are in perfect symbiosis.
