Founded in 2023 by Sébastien Gschwind, a trained sculptor, Fassen was born from a deep passion for objects, materials, and form. Fassen revisits archetypal forms drawn from art and design history—from antiquity to modern times—to reveal their enduring vitality. Its practice blends curation, re-edition, and creation, guided by a kind of initiatory philosophy of design: to grasp an object is to touch and be touched in return. The brand champions restraint and longevity, producing in small series from a workshop in Seine-et-Marne, France.
