Highlights from 20 years of furniture and product design by leading
French luminary Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance
Designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance's (born 1974) training in both
sculpture and furniture design is evident throughout his eclectic body
of work. His architectural designs, seen in places such as the Sketch
restaurant in London or the Air France business lounge at Paris-Charles
de Gaule airport, evoke the natural movement of water and wind with
curved edges and smooth surfaces.
Each piece of furniture in Duchaufour-Lawrance's oeuvre, whether it be a
chair, lamp or sofa, is characterized by a clear attention to the
piece's overall dramatic effect as well as a fine craftsmanship in every
detail. Most recently, he collaborated with the crystal manufacturer
Saint-Louis to create the Folia collection of luxury lighting fixtures
and furniture.
This publication presents a number of Duchaufour-Lawrance's most
striking designs, and reveals his new project in which he deftly
combines design with craftmanship.
