Antoine is a glass portable lamp, this reservoir of light is mobile and designed for home. Why should portable lights stay restricted to its space of use as basements or outdoor? By bringing it back to indoor spaces, Antoine is able to light up punctually spaces needed by the user. The lighting can be moved, set up, or hang by its handle. The design and especially the materials used are inspired by the old hurricane lamps.

The texture of the glass skin strengthens the particular sensual relation between the user and the object. The quality of the light is also influenced by this texture. It spreads fluctuating patterns of light depending of the environment.

I worked in collaboration with Romuald Ribes, a glass blower based in La Roche Bernard, Brittany. We worked around the idea of deforming glass and creating patterns on the surface by using moulds.

It transformed the usual process of glassblowing. The moulds are sheets of steel, placed inside glassblowing typical moulds. By adding pressure while blowing, the mould can print the pattern on the glass surface.

We add to understand how the materials react together, and face all the problems regarding temperature of steel and glass during the process, depth of the patterns...

I wanted to play with the properties of the glass and the possibilities they can offer.

Gaby is an updated version of a project I designed two years ago.

Gaby is a chair designed to be dressed. Its structure is the stand or hanger of the cover. This chair is thought to question and emphasize the idea of comfort. Gaby is a combination of a structure made of wire tubes of steel, 16mm, and a cover made of stuffed and pleated textile.

I pushed my first concept that was focus on the idea of concept by reflecting on the new ways of live. Nomadism, and small environments tend to be the new concept of living. I designed a chair that can be related and get the feeling of old upholstery seatings.

Gaby is a chair designed to be dressed. Its structure is the stand or hanger of the cover. This chair is thought to question and emphasize the idea of comfort. Gaby is a combination of a structure made of rectangular tubes of steel, and a cover made of stuffed and pleated textile.

The chair shows a reel contrast of materials. Its voluptuous and fleshy pleats embrace the rudimentary frame and offer an optimal seating comfort. In that way the idea of comfort is only materialised by the cover. Undressed, the chair is only an object without any function.

I played with the textile material by adding volume and thickness to it. Rhythms and patterns are created. The plump shape calls to a tactile and sensual experience.

I worked with the Daniel Becker Design Sudio to create the series «45» which has been developed for the young Berlin based startup Kimidori, and which uses exclusively used pallet wood for their products. We designed a series of furniture, precisely a stool, a cabinet, a sideboard and seating. We won the Green Good design award of the Chicago Athenaeum.

Our approach was to create modern, attractive pieces which do not make use of the pallet as an object but rather work with the used wood of the disassembled pallet. Through the rough usage of the pallets, these boards show signs of use which intruded deeply into the wood and are still visible even after grinding them, distinguishing them clearly from fresh timber.

We decided to emphasize and present these signs of use by arranging the wooden boards in geometric patterns in 45 and 90 degrees to each other. The inspiration for these patterns originated in the observation of how wooden houses, doors and panelling were decorated in northern and eastern Europe for centuries. Such pieces are mostly used outdoors where they are exposed to the elements and get vivid by time.

Le Relais is a company with socio-economic purpose. It provides an helping hand for people who are in trouble with the professional world. Its activity, which concerns textile recycling, is most of all a cop-out to reintegrate people in need, for a new start in life. People donate clothes, sheets… in order to get used textiles a new lease of life.

Because of the growing needs of the company, I had to design a new office space for the headquarters according to their identity and values.

The 743 m2 space is delimited by a central, massive and oblong block, which generate and influence the flow of people. Besides enabling exchanges and displacements, this volume is also habitable with its waiting and meeting rooms. This element is made of compressed textiles.

To enhance the position of this central entity, others spaces are designed to feel lighter. Textures are softened and feel velvety. A warm beige and cotton mesh dress up the ceiling and each wall or furniture is covered by flock. Seating sets are disparate, users can attribute them for themselves to feel familiar emotions or personal memories…

Dismontable assemblies are grounds for thought. I focused on the properties of wood and elastic textiles. Wood transforms as it age, therefore it can weaken a joint. A special technique is needed to enable the physical variations of the material without losing its solidity.

This assembly is inspired by corsets, tights, or splints. Pieces of wood are fitted together by tenons and mortises but the different parts can not resist to the traction. Compression properties of some textiles like Jersey, Lycra or Neoprene enable to tighten the junction.

The idea was to create a tripod stool around the theme of up cycling. I wanted to question the senses by opposing flesh comfort and surgical materials. Both elements are linked regarding the medical field.

Surgical gloves are filled by coloured rice. The wood structure enhances the flesh like plastic gloves. The reflection of the artificial material can remind of the leather seats in the small Parisian bars.

The elderly people are in loss of autonomy. The gestures of the quotidian are difficult to achieve, even with assistance. The handling of the glasses is complicated because of the weakening of the psychomotor reflexes as well as the various diseases linked to the aging process. The gap between the arms of the glasses is not adequate to insure a correct installation. It is important to respect the dignity of the dependant persons by helping them to make this task alone.

The flexibility of the hinge is made by a silicon tongue inside a transparent tube of acetate. The elastomer deforms and allows a big mobility. The overhang fixs the arm.

The Pontchaillou’s train stop deal with the growing flow of travellers between Rennes and Saint-Malo. It’s a small stop next to the main train station but it’s also closer to the centre of Rennes and the main hospital. Actually, it’s only composed of two quays and a footbridge. The old caretaker’s lodge of the hospital is located next to the footbridge. I decided to create a real train station in this ruin to develop a space adapted to the needs.

This small train station contains a reception space, a waiting room, a newspaper kiosk, a coffee kiosk and toilets. Outdoors spaces are also designed in order to invite users to use and invest this new urban complex.

The old part of the building is linked to the new one by an element which symbolizes the rhythm of the rails from Rennes to saint Malo. To my opinion, this rail link express the minerality of the coast landscape and the vegetality of the bocage landscape of Rennes. I choose the materials, essentially slate or granit and vegetation or green elements, because of this opposition.

Inspired by Fontana, the restaurant is a monolith wrapped in an organic shell. This skin is deformed by sharp blocks. A large slit, where the users go through to enter the building, is created.

Curved shapes envelop and model the flow of people inside the restaurant. The opposition of rigid volumes and soft curves, symbolizes the rituals of seduction and love.
