French designers Mathieu Girard and Gauthier Pouillart collaborate on projects that seamlessly unite technical experimentation with poetic form. Working across furniture, lighting, and installation, the duo has developed a distinctive language rooted in material research, structural exploration, and refined craftsmanship. Their practice is driven by a curiosity for process, often pushing materials beyond their conventional applications to reveal new expressive possibilities.
Central to their work is an innovative use of metal, resin, and composite materials, which they combine to create pieces that balance strength and delicacy. Through precise engineering and careful attention to proportion, their designs achieve a subtle tension between solidity and lightness. Texture, surface, and tactility play a fundamental role, inviting physical engagement and sensory awareness alongside visual impact.
Produced in limited series, their works reflect an intimate approach to making, where each object is conceived as both a functional piece and a sculptural presence. By merging technical rigor with an intuitive sense of form, Girard and Pouillart create designs that resonate emotionally while demonstrating a sophisticated command of contemporary materials and fabrication techniques.
