Signature

Minimal and timeless, Adrien Messié’s style combines purity of shape, of the material and attention to detail and refinement. Thought like equations, each of his creations is the result of a particular combination. Homothetic variations and accumulation are the main principals of his artistic language. 

Inspiration

Sources of inspiration and discoveries ; elementary forms, mathematic poetry, alliance of different materials, are essential to Adrien’s creative process. Born of an aesthete grand father and a carpenter father, the designer has a taste for beautiful objects, the ones that last, thought to get through time, perfectly manufactured and that speak for themselves. His constant exchanges between craftsmen and industrials constitute the foundation of all his pieces, taking the project beyond its original perimeter, in a perspective of continuous innovation.
