UNVEIL® Meeting Table
A table designed to host in our studio in Paris, developed in collaboration with @valentinjager_ and @lucas.aulagnier . Made from a 12 mm thick solid aluminum plate.
We often talk about “image-objects” at the studio. When Valentin and Lucas shared the idea of a symbolic bas-relief fresco hidden within the table, it immediately made sense. The fresco unfolds in four parts, exploring our relationship with creativity and the idea of unveiling. This bas-relief was fully generated using AI, then cast in solid aluminum to take physical form.
It is an immense honor to see this piece enter the collection of the @manufacturesnationales
This work was born from an initial encounter with ceramics. It is deeply inspired by the ocean. A global sensation that seeks to convey what it represents to me : an immutable reference point, detached from human time, and the crucible in which life itself has taken shape.
My sincere thanks to @hervelemoine and to the members of the jury for their trust. And finally, thank you to @lemarclola for what matters most.

C’est un immense honneur de voir cet objet entrer dans la collection des @manufacturesnationales .
Ce travail est né d’une première rencontre avec la céramique. Il est profondément inspiré par l’océan. Une sensation globale qui tente de dépeindre ce qu’il symbolise à mes yeux. Un repères immuable, détaché du temps humain et dans lequel s’est forgé le creuset duquel fourmille la vie.
Merci à @hervelemoine et aux membres du jury pour leur confiance. Enfin merci à @lemarclola , pour ce qui compte le plus.
LAST SNOW
On the occasion of Paris Design Week, taking place from September 4 to 8, I will be showcasing pieces from the Last Snow project. Here are a few excerpts from the book, which you will be able to browse on site.
Last snow is a project initiated in
March 2023 across the French Alps
area.
These actions and images serve
to establish the foundations of a
practice that advocates for harmony
between human beings and their
environment.
In this particular case, that of the
mountain, where the consequences
of climate change are felt more
strongly than anywhere else, this
environment takes on a special
status as a research laboratory.
Altitude Chair (04)
Narrative seat carrying the essence of high mountain environnements. Each piece in the collection exists as a material meditation on remoteness, transcience, and the quiet monumentality of alpine landscape.
No one owns them except those who are there.
Vase textile 02
Ultrasonic sewing by @pag.nkw
New experiments with @lemarclola . The series brings together two opposing techniques. Ceramic casting, slow and ancestral, to ultrasonic sewing.
The former is perceived as more artisanal, while the latter is used mainly to produce disposable industrial objects such as surgical masks.
The tension between the two techniques is illustrated by the tension in textiles and the color contrast.
Big thanks to @p.ovitch and @louiseporche 🙏
