Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance
Artist/Designer
A multidisciplinary French designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance is well known for his sensitive attention to materials and details, as well as for the refinement of his organic forms. From his initial training as a sculptor, he has kept this innate aptitude for dialogue between space and object. The duality between artistic vision and meticulous rigour, nature and the city, functionality and emotion flows seamlessly through his projects, whether in interior architecture (the Sketch in London, the Air France lounges, the chalet La Transhumance, Montblanc) or in the design of furniture or objects (published by Ceccotti, Bernhardt Design, Ligne Roset, La Chance, Hermès, Saint-Louis, Revol, Steinway & Sons), but also tailor-made for private clients or cultural institutions such as the Le Mobilier National and Villa Medici. His work has always flourished in collaboration and dialogue with craftsmen and craftswomen, and this approach takes on even more cultural and emotional depth today. In order to reconnect with nature and weave a sensitive link between man and his environment, he chose to move to Lisbon in 2017. From this immersion was born the Made In Situ project. Through its various chapters and encounters—to date, the black ceramics of Tondela Barro Negro, the cork from the Algarve - Burnt Cork, the azulejos of Viúva Lamego, the bronze of Peniche and the beeswax candles of Fátima Bronze & Beeswax, as well as a French opus rooted in the Massif des Maures, Chêne & Liège - Made In Situ continues to celebrate craftsmanship. Caretos marked a new milestone as the first collection where artisans were given complete creative freedom to interpret a stool inspired by the vibrant Caretos festivities.
