The Buffet X challenges the inherent properties of wood, transforming its rigid structure into a surface that appears fluid, as if caught in suspended motion. With a central interplay of concealment and revelation, the work is a sculptural gesture frozen in time, inviting curiosity about what lies beyond its undulating doors. The act of opening becomes not just functional but an experience of unveiling, as if peering beyond a carefully composed surface

A clear nod to Lucio Fontana’s radical approach to form and materiality, Buffet X captures the expressive force of a single gesture—one that disrupts the expected and creates new spatial possibilities. Recope de Tilly echoes Fontana’s spirit of experimentation, using wood as a medium to capture movement, much like Fontana’s slashes transformed canvas into something sculptural that symbolized both destruction and creation. An opening into an infinite space beyond the work itself, the cabinet’s facade suggests an incision, a controlled rupture that transforms into something dynamic and unpredictable

Handcrafted in France, the work is a testament to fine craftsmanship and conceptual daring. Balancing precision with an organic sensibility, it embodies a tension between movement and stillness, structure and fluidity, concealment and exposure

Matthieu Recope de Tilly

BORN Le Mans, FRANCE, 1988

A French designer and interior architect, Recope creates spaces, furniture pieces, and objects that exemplify purity, simplicity, and timelessness. Drawing upon midcentury design principles and traditional craftsmanship, Recope’s work reinterprets and elevates classic silhouettes and techniques to create designs that are utterly contemporary, refreshing, and elegant. Recope’s singular pieces pay homage to the incomparable history of French design, and are replete with hidden tributes to the master artists and artisans in whose footsteps he proudly follows

Noted for his extraordinary attention to detail and exquisite finishes, Recope imbues classic geometries with a bold and elemental approach to breathtaking effect. Sophisticated, architectural, and playful, his work invites us to honor the heritage of what has come before and dream into what might not yet seem possible. Each of his pieces is handcrafted by master artisans in France

After graduating from L’Ecole Bleue in Paris, Recope honed his craft training under celebrated architects and designers Luis LaPlace, Didier Gomez, and Hedvig Ersman. The exquisite interiors he has created for public spaces and private homes in France have made him one of the most sought-after designers in Paris. His furniture can be found in the homes of discerning collectors around the world
