Graduated from the Ecole Boulle – Paris in craftmanship, Maxime Bellaunay explores the relation with the object and places raw material at the heart of his research. He will bring out the textures and surfaces of objects, in order to highlight their raw and primitive state.

He founds part of his formal approach on the cracking of materials, in order to release their essence and reveal their original aspect. Through this random process, a dialogue is created between human action and the way in which nature will regain control over it.

Through a sensitive and minimalist aesthetic, Maxime develops a singular language that he translates into his creations: furniture, objects, and lighting. He produces unique pieces or edited in small series, resulting from his collaborations in France and Japan.
