Episode 8, Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance: design as a second nature (english version)

French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance has always found inspiration for his work in the beauty of his natural environment. Now based in Lisbon, he creates objects that celebrate local materials and traditional Portuguese craftsmanship.

A bottle for Paco Rabanne’s “One Million” perfume, interior design for several restaurants, among which Sketch in London and Ciel de Paris, on the 56th floor of the Tour Montparnasse, Air France’s business lounges in the Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport… Duchaufour-Lawrance has done it all.

Over the past twenty years, this award-winning designer has been able to apply his vision of a sensitive and functional design guided by shapes usually found in nature to a variety of projects, ranging from the umbrella pine-couch to the reed-vase, all the while trying to convince his clients of the importance of using well-sourced materials.

Working from Lisbon since 2017, he is currently developing Made in Situ, a design lab that wishes to celebrate local materials and craft techniques and through which he presented, earlier this year, a series of furniture pieces made out of burnt cork.
