The first specimen is a bespoke design for a private.
It is completed with a coffee table, smoked glass tray.
This first bookshelf is signed on the metal on the side, lower part,
manufactured under the direction of Serge Mouille.
Then, crafted, promoted and sold with about ten specimens by the company Premium Avenue Matigon in Paris.
In 2003 the first model is entrusted to Alan for a sale at Drouot Montaigne.
The sale Archéologie du Futur, organized by MASSOL - PARIS 8,
takes place on June 6th, 2003.
It is not sold but remain exposed a few times at ALAN
who seems to have sold it in the US where we lost it.
A second piece is sold at ARTCURIAL a few years later.
About 10 copies were manufactured.
Lauret Studio proposes,
with all the impassioned of exception,
professionals and privates,
an exclusive silverware,
a poetic and sensual escape,
the timeless harmony
of esthetics and French elegance.
As manager of a small company of edition
in a sector as difficult as that of silverware,
it seems to me essential to pledge
in favour of the creativity,
to offer products
very far from overconsumption,
of the disposable.
High range, durable products,
with strong identity.
Products with a heart.
Another engagement,
in favour of inheritance,
innovation and excellence.
Modestly, take part to promote,
maintain and transmit some know-how,
true art professions.
Timeless one, of those which contribute
to the worldwide influence of our culture,
of a certain lifestyle.
My artists.
Richard Lauret, artist/designer,
for whom I set up the company.
Today he opens more largely his universe
with indoor outdoor designs,
furniture, lighting, sculptures.
Jean-Charles Maïna, Christian Jaccard,
both sculptors.
Biographies in addition.
My partners.
All of them small craftsmen.
EPV, "Entreprise Patrimoine Vivant ».
French label of excellence.
Especially "my" silversmiths,
graduated from the Ecole Boulle,
one of them MOF
"Meilleur Ouvrier de France".
Far more than just silverware,
our collections are the fruit of encounters
between men and women of passion.
Artists and craftsmen of great talents.
Without them, without your trust,
nothing would be possible.
So, I would like to thank all of them, all of you.
