Inspired by painter Joan Miró, this coffee table ,crafted from Zebrano, Makassar Ebony, Birdseye Maple, Pommeled Sapele, and Mappa Burl, is a poetic composition of almost opposing hues, where the playful assembly invite to optimism and resilience. The off-balance credenza, made from Ebony and Mappa Burl, graced the entrance.The materials were so exceptional and rare, I saved them for years until the right project came along.

Yesterday was a rewarding day, we completed the installation of an early summer project and it turned out amazing.
The collaboration with everyone involved, sometimes even from a different continent, was awesome and unlike any other project , maybe because the intent was for the greater good.
After mounting the icons and seeing everything come together, a feeling of great peace emerged.
The artist who created the icons had chosen a color palette so perfect, without ever seeing my work finished. It was deeply gratifying.

Tomorrow, Notre Dame Cathedral reopens, just five years after the devastating inferno that nearly destroyed it. On the night of the fire, when the iconic spire collapsed and pierced the croisée des transepts, and the north belfry was engulfed in flames with its 19 tonnes of bells threatening to bring down the entire façade, many feared the cathedral would collapse.

Around the world, hearts broke at the sight of this tragedy. Yet, thanks to the extraordinary bravery of a few firefighters, the structure was saved at the last moment. What followed was an overwhelming outpouring of support and the determination of a nation—and indeed the world—to restore what once was.

Over 2,000 highly skilled artisans and experts in their fields worked tirelessly to recreate what has been called the "project of the century." The result is extraordinary. The clarity of the stone and the light inside has not been seen for centuries, as grime and pollution had dulled its beauty over time. I cannot wait to visit, it will be like stepping back in time, walking in as a pilgrim in the 1400s.

As an artisan, I cannot express how deeply touched and inspired I am by the knowledge, skill, passion, discipline, determination, camaraderie, and unity shown by my fellow countrymen to bring this vision to life. Many said it couldn't be done. But as the saying goes, "Impossible n'est pas Français. Impossible is not French."

Bravo et merci!
