Fanette Wartel, an art cabinetmaker trained at the École Boulle in Paris, brings a sculptural and tactile sensitivity to the studio. After working in the restoration of antique furniture, she turned toward the creation of wooden sculptures and conceptual pieces. Her fascination with travel and cultural heritage often informs her work, drawing inspiration from techniques and traditions encountered beyond familiar contexts.
Bertrand Wartel, initially trained as an art metalworker before becoming a structural metal engineer, contributes deep technical expertise to each creation. Awarded by the Observateur du Design and holder of several patents, he remains in constant creative motion. His references include figures such as Santiago Calatrava, Marcel Breuer, and Jean Prouvé, designers who placed engineering excellence at the core of their work. Metals, wood, and stone are shaped with extreme precision and respect, all pieces being designed, developed, fabricated, and assembled by hand in the studio’s French workshop. Wartel also collaborates closely with architects and interior designers, producing bespoke pieces tailored to specific spatial visions.
