Concours commande - Âmes d’Œuvres
Graduates of the École Duperré, Laetitia Baqué and Victor Molinié founded their Parisian embroidery workshop, Baqué Molinié, in 2017, creating a dialogue between their craft and other exceptional skills in the fields of fashion, design and interior design.
Geoffrey Hillereau, a graduate of the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, has developed a ‘Neo-Classical Pop’ aesthetic that blends traditional craftsmanship with digital technologies.
Having joined forces in 2023, they created LOOP for Moët & Chandon, a modular frieze featuring three-dimensional embroidery. With Âmes d’Œuvres, they are continuing this exploration by reinterpreting a heritage piece through a hybrid and architectural approach to embroidery.
Originally from Switzerland, Robin Kerr arrived in Paris in 2023 to study ceramics. Having obtained a CAP in pottery in 2024, he subsequently joined Grégoire Scalabre’s studio in Pantin as a resident artist.
The potter’s wheel is at the heart of his practice: he shapes pieces on it, building them up by layering elements, and develops his own glazes to create a colour palette that is uniquely his own.
In 2025, his creations were exhibited at the PAD Paris as well as at the C14 fair, dedicated to contemporary ceramics.
A textile designer specialising in the art of knotting, Diane Diebold f founded her Parisian studio in 2021, where she creates bespoke macramé pieces for the luxury and interior design sectors; her work, a favourite at the 2024 Mathias Prize, was notably showcased at the Révélations Biennale.
Hélèna Clade and Pierrick Tristan, designers trained in Lyon, form the duo behind Studio MK, which is dedicated to supporting craftspeople: Hélèna Clade conducts research into materials and techniques, whilst Pierrick Tristan contributes his expertise in 3D modelling and digital fabrication.
Hélèna Clade met Diane Diebold in 2023 whilst on a work placement in her studio; since 2025, Studio MK and Diane Diebold have been exploring together the interplay between knotting and bespoke beads, from design through to prototyping.
As a decorative painter, Caroline Besse carries on the tradition of trompe-l’œil depictions of materials and colour applied in successive layers, which she expands upon through her own research into natural pigments: she has thus developed a large-scale technique on paper using powdered minerals, for which she was awarded the City of Paris’s Grand Prix de la Création in the Artistic Crafts category in 2022.
A graduate of Strate École de Design in 2009, Jean-Baptiste Sénéquier pursues a practice that is both experimental and pragmatic, combining local resources, traditional craftsmanship and digital tools; his work with burnt wood earned him the France Design Impact Awards.
United by their exploration of the transition from surface to volume, they seek to bring to life the metamorphoses of mineral matter – from raw stone to ornamental objects – through a continuous dialogue between material, colour and form.
Trained at the École Boulle, Yannick Székany worked for some twenty years as an art bronze smith for leading Parisian houses, where he created luxury furniture, lighting and metal fittings. In 2018, he founded his own workshop, YSZÉ, on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau. A specialist in brass, he applies his experience to demanding projects – whether bespoke or prototypes – whilst exploring new avenues without ever abandoning traditional techniques. For him, each piece is born out of dialogue and collaboration, through meticulous craftsmanship that blends tradition and modernity.
