Saint-Louis Launches “Folia” Designed by Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance

Duchaufour-Lawrance, the Paris-based designer and interior architect, took over 30 months to create this collection, working closely with a crystal manufacturer. His inspiration grew from the roots of where Saint-Louis is based, and from the first collection he produced with the house. This time, however, the designer wanted to express the re-imagination of a leaf, translated into a geometric and contemporary form.

“Even if my formal language of expression differs radically from theirs, nature and craftsmanship are for me the driving forces of contemporary modernity,” said Duchaufour-Lawrance. “I don’t believe in the future of rotational molding and plastic injection.”
