“Held back by its branch, the hanging leaf seems to fly”


Inspired by the natural principle of the petiole, the stem that attaches the leaf to the branch, and they become one. It is a line of objects all in smoothness and fluidity that Alexandre gives us to see. The base is here the element that holds the whole object. Worked with the technique of steam bending, the wood is pushed to the limits of its elasticity.

The lines thus created bring a great lightness to the whole piece of furniture, whose backrest - the leaf -, sculpted by hand, seems to be naturally linked to the legs. The chair here is the essence of the collection: pushed to its limits, the wood shows the power of its support to the back, all in lightness and fluidity.

All furniture is made to order and made to measure. In line with its natural inspirations, all raw materials come from the Hauts de France and are used in a reasoned approach. Oak, ash, sycamore, red oak are carefully selected directly to the saw mill.Haut du formulaire
