A multidisciplinary French designer, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance is known internationally for his sensitive attention to materials and details, as well as for the refinement of his organic forms. He explores a wide range of subjects and materials, combining them into unique works. 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.

Born in the south of France in 1974, he followed in his father’s footsteps, by studying sculpture at the École nationale supérieure des arts appliqués et des métiers d’art, then earning his design diploma at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Fueled by a rich creative background, Noé approaches design with an instinct and a sensibility that gives form to projects ranging from architecture to furniture, interiors to bespoke, limited edition collections. His sculptural work showcases a respect for the past, combined with a simplicity of line and an honest desire to create pieces that last. 

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. 

Driven by his strong feeling for materials, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance draws his inspiration from nature: organic shapes and their irregularities are transcended and rendered into fantastic pieces of furniture. Each design is defined by resolutely modern, fluid lines and organic shapes of striking beauty. Exceptionally handcrafted by skilled artisans, the furniture pieces strike the perfect balance between contrasting materials, embodying Noé’s distinctive, sophisticated aesthetic.
