Biography

Heir to his father’s craftsmanship, Raphaël
Barrois is one of those craftsmen/artists who
have the power to reveal the essence of the
material. Committed to bringing out the full purity
and brilliance of glass, this artisan glassmaker
crafts exceptional pieces in limited series. From
furniture and home accessories to glass wall
panels, his unique creations adorn the interiors
and exteriors of the most prestigious venues.
Anchored in a contemporary approach, Raphaël
Barrois imagines high-end, made-to-measure
glass projects for private individuals, interior
designers and architects. Playing the card of
material combinations, he constantly explores
new creative avenues to broaden the horizons
of the possible. The result is viscerally appealing
creations that capture the essence of the elusive.
A singular body of work at the confluence of
design and functional art, well worth the detour.
Raphaël Barrois has just been awarded first prize
in the «innovation des savoir-faire» category of
the Artinov 2023 competition.
