The Brand
After working for 12 years in New York and San Francisco, Clémentine d’Aspremont-Menayas, a designer, artist and licensed architect, founded her agency dedicated to high-end residential and commercial projects in Paris and Brussels. Throughout her architectural practice, Clémentine has designed furniture, which led her to launch her first line of bent plywood and leather furniture in 2023.
Her new collection “Avao” presents warm, refined and sensual curves. It includes essential pieces: a chair, an armchair, a lounge and a nested coffee table. The collection offers a variety of timeless, high-quality components and colors such as bent beechwood, oak and walnut veneer, gray and off-white leather and brass.
Materials and finishes rooted in heritage
Made in France by local workshops using classic materials and colors, the collection’s design and production reflect Clémentine’s values and commitment to sustainability. Subtly evoking classics like Mies van der Rohe’s S 533 L Cantilever Chair and Marcel Breuer’s Cantilever Chair, Avao is a study of contrasts: between the natural warmth of walnut and the deliberate simplicity of off-white leather; between the modernism cantilever design and the more contemporary curved silhouette; and between substantiality and airiness.
