History, process

Blacksmith, skilled metalworker, objects designer

Atelier Rouge Cerise ensued from a curiosity for the forge.
Self-taught man, at the beginning i forged to repair family vineyard tools.
I spent hours by this fireplace : i was fascinating by this glowing metal, malleable to ideas.
I love my workshop because it’s like a backdrop with vines, trees and flowers all around. Mont Ventoux is my perspective and my convergence line is the Midi sun. This place preserves my imagination and my temporality.
Here, i’ve developed step by step my ironwork savoir-faire till becoming a recognized craftsman.
Then, i’ve got my head around other materials features to be able to fully explore objects design.

A tailor-made approach

Reading and arts inspire me. They are fertile ground for personal creations that can be sold.
I’m careful about our meeting, attentive to your project to bring unique and custom piece to life.
Private buyer, architect, interior designer or artist, i’m attentive in every detail for each demand, from the drawing to the fitting that i handle myself.
I like challenges and i’m able to solve most of technicals constraints in an aesthetic way thanks to my experience, tirelessly dedicated to Beauty and Excellence.

Look forward to meet you, in France or abroad, not matter because projects are limitless…
