Atelier Monier

Seat carpentry workshop    

Founded in 2013, Atelier Monier specializes in the creation, design, and manufacture of seating. A Meilleur Ouvrier de France (Best Craftsman of France) and Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company), Louis Monier uses software to design the shapes and architecture of the pieces, which are then turned into prototypes using a 3D printer. The wood can then be worked by hand using the techniques and tools of a chair maker.
