Christophe Delcourt

Christophe Delcourt grew up in Paris. His love of nature showed itself from an early age – he even dreamed of working the land. But it was in another realm that he found his direction: on stage. Designing sets for a production, he discovered the joy of making them with his own hands and his vocation was born!

With a propensity for pure, timeless lines, Christophe Delcourt nonetheless designs pieces that are expressive, powerful, willful. He sculpts the material, challenging it, sometimes contradicting it. His designs never seek effect, but rather to subtract, to cut away until the piece becomes architecture, a concentration of rigor and poetry. Rather than the great designers of the past, it is modern artists who inspire his work: Isamu Noguchi, Constantin Brancusi, Rudolf Schindler.

Wood is his material of predilection, a material that is ever changing and allows for an infinite variety of forms and hues. Christophe Delcourt likes to elevate it, transforming its raw strength into refinement. He combines the skill of cabinetmaking with a repertoire of form that excludes nothing, including the incorporation of elements in ceramic, stone, bronze or natural fibers.

An insatiable investigator, interested in everything, Christophe Delcourt likes to explore new means of expression, experimenting with production methods, understanding the varying cultures of different companies.
