COMPANY PROFILE
Maison FOREST AUDIARD “Il était une fois l’empreinte“ is a French craftmanship house whose mission is to sculpt and to pass on eternal emotions through the finest bespoke lifestyle objects. All pieces are shaped from your own handprint, by the artist Michel Audiard and his art team in his own foundry (“Living Heritage Company” Label) in the Loire Valley, France.
Maison FOREST AUDIARD offers a unique tailor-made handcraft experience, by molding your handprint through the use of the age-old technique of lost wax. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, sculpted on your own palm, and becomes a unique object of celebration, legacy and transmission. Thanks to the artist, their bespoke lifetime pieces are the reflection of the most beautiful history: yours. They will present for the very first time in New York some of their iconic creations:
- The bespoke Ouvre-Vin, to open and share a Grand Cru, sculpted from the hand itself. All made of bronze with various finishings like silver plated, black nickel plated or gold plated.
- The bespoke Stylo-Sculpture, to express personality, sculpted from the hand itself, all made of bronze with various finishings like silver plated, black nickel plated or gold plated and resin.
