Background
Tim Leclabart spent over a decade honing his skills in art & design galleries and working alongside antique dealers. These rich, diverse experiences and interactions with artisans and professionals, while learning about historical artifacts, have significantly influenced his approach to design and led to the creation of his eponymous studio. In the realm of objects, Tim discovered a unique means of expressing ideas and encapsulating an aesthetic that stands the test of time.Â
Signature Style
An affinity for forms characterized by simple geometries, often harmonized with natural materials such as wood, stone, and paper, defines Tim Leclabart’s design ethos. He incorporates unconventional materials like resin and composites, including MDF. The distinctive feature of his design lies in its deep-rooted connection to memory – a fusion of professional and personal experiences, travels, and a profound passion for the history of Decorative Arts. This approach continually seeks to bridge the past with a forward-looking perspective.Â
Showstoppers
Designs that seamlessly navigate the realms of contemporary art and design emblemize Tim’s work. Among the notable pieces, the Canné armchair stands out. Its inclusion in the Mobilier National collections attests to its significance. The armchair exemplifies a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship with modern, responsible machining practices.Â
