& restoration of Art furniture
My artistic approach …
… takes root in nature, both in form and in materials.
It has been nourished since my childhood by the contact with nature, and enhanced by studying.
I wish, through a functional element that is the furniture, to put forward a singular and authentic artistic process.
The creation reflects the desire to combine functionality, ergonomics and aesthetics through a personalized object, specific to an identity.
It is about life itself.
In my mind, a piece of furniture is not only an object but the reflection of both a singularity and an interaction.
The first approach of a new creation is sculptural.
Thus the way I choose to assembly the different parts of the furniture is either almost invisible, or part of the design (console Griffée).
I use both old and contemporary techniques: straight tail or dovetail, tenon and mortise, wooden peg …
Aesthetics and resistance are the criteria.
Natural wood is my favorite material.
I use solid wood, veneers, and also derivative wood products for their properties: flexibility, resistance, malleability …
I do not exclude the alliance with other natural materials such as iron, leather, fabrics, stone, cork …
La Feuille de Bois wants to explore Life. The technique and refinement of wood veneers are the means used to carry on this philosophy.

It is a link between the past and the future.

“My sensitivity found all its meaning in the art that could be developed through the profession of cabinetmaking.
I revealed myself working with wood material, starting with a sculpture diploma at G. Guynemer High School in Uzès.
I then pursued in this path with marquetry, cabinetmaking and design. Art history was a favorite and I studied it thoroughly.

The desire to create furniture using the ancient cabinetmakers’ beautiful legacy strengthened during my career.
During my years of study at the Ecole Boulle in Paris, I was introduced to new and various visions of design.
I graduated in Diplôme des Métiers d’Art en ébénisterie (Diploma of Crafts in Cabinetmaking) in 2001.”

so it is in this spirit that I want to create for you.”
