Levitation is to design as the graal is to religion. A fantasy quest whose permanence has equaled only that the search for invisibility. Simple felt ribbon in extension in space, the "Foldchair" thus floats, literally. As the print of a chair which one would have withdrawn too quickly, leaving for a time the memory of its presence, laying under the plaid which sheltered it. But a quite functional memory for this cast solid base whose technical qualities do not withdraw anything with its visual magic.

Leonardo dining table:
Is it a still life?
This object fossilizes a moment of intimacy in a couple. Like a photo, Leonardo freezes a moment of life that testifies of a story, a scene animated by souls the time of a meal, a keeper of the instant. One can still perceive the movements and the feelings in the immobility of this furniture. And so the form does not serve the function anymore, it serves the feelings. The emotional prevails on the functional. Leonardo is an ode to love.

Acié : The brief was to value the steel.
The aim of this design was to portray the steel as a light, tough and safe material..
A new sensation brought to the user; to balance and to use free space in the ceiling.
Acié is a stackable table cut into a single sheet of steel so there is no loss of material and stackable without any limit to the storage.
