Canadian and exotic wood with stainless steel

The materials

I love wood! I love its patterns, colors and textures. I like the contrasting game between the classic side of the wood and the more designer side of the mosaics. I juxtapose Canadian and exotic wood species in a harmonious marriage of colors and textures. Where does the wood I use come from? Mainly from cabinetmakers: I collect their unused planks, their scraps! The essences that I do not recover, I buy them from an importer specializing in wood. I obviously take care to check the origin and the way the slaughterings are done.

the workshop

I love my studio! Every day I savor the freedom I have to be able to create. New concepts emerge from my mind all the time and not just at the workshop. Indeed, ideas come to me while walking in the forest, running, playing with my daughter and even while cooking! I draw them, I test them, I modify them and I modify them again. Of course, I am not always alone in the process. I have collaborators who are essential, of fundamental importance in the achievement of my objectives. But I am present at all stages of production, attention to detail being paramount. Once the jewelry is finished and checked, packaging and shipping are also done in my workshop.
