Background
Trained at the ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres School in Paris before moving to London to take a master’s degree at Central Saint Martins, Leo Sentou works on high end residential and hospitality projects honing his skills and sense for detail, whilst growing a strong passion for beautiful finishes. In 2021, Leo launched his first furniture line that encapsulates his love for noble materials and exceptional craftmanship.
Signature Style
A certain « esprit français » free from any ostentation. Leo is after timeless elegance born out of the re-interpretation of classical codes as well as a letting the materials speak for themselves. He sees himself as a “contemporary classicist” who is always exploring the fascinating balance between rigor and whimsy.
Showstoppers
Entirely handmade by a team of skilled craftsmen, his first collection pays tribute to the elegance of French furniture from the last quarter of the eighteenth century. The fauteuil L.D particularly captures the deceptive simplicity of pure shapes, combined with noble materials and skilled craftmanship that echoes the sophistication of the furniture of that period whilst remaining utterly contemporary.
