A versatile approach to craftsmanship

  • • Christophe opened his workshop in 2014
  • • He is inspired by observation, curiosity and drawing
  • • Two of his pieces have entered the Musée de la Piscine in Roubaix

Christophe Boulanger is a multidisciplinary artist. He was always passionate about creation, but it took him 30 years to finally embrace the life of an artist after a career in advertising. He began by experimenting with drawing and painting, but his natural curiosity rapidly pushed him towards different techniques and materials, including ceramics and metalwork. For Christophe, each exploration is the beginning of a new collection which requires studying a new material, new gestures, and new tools. His latest project began with the desire to draw trees and led him to a forest of hundred-year-old oaks in Brittany where he learned gestures from cabinetmakers for six months. Using this new knowledge, Christophe creates furniture and objects that have since been spotted by Elle décoration and the Parisian concept-store Merci.
