Shaped by the quiet dialogue between erosion and structure, the OSTREA collection draws from a landscape where stone is softened by time and water. Table, console, and low table emerge as elemental compositions, where the precision of carved material meets the unpredictability of organic form. The oyster becomes a point of departure—not as a literal reference, but as a way of thinking about growth, irregularity, and the tension between protection and exposure

The silhouettes are defined by contrast. Expansive, asymmetrical tops unfold with a sense of openness, while the supporting volumes remain compact and grounded. These rounded bases, reminiscent of stones shaped by currents, establish a delicate relationship with the surfaces they hold. The contact points are intentionally restrained, creating a subtle instability—a moment where mass feels gently offset, and the composition hovers between equilibrium and release

Material plays an active role in this balance. Sculpted from Breccia Boticelli marble, each surface reveals a complex terrain of fragments and veins, where color and texture shift unpredictably. The stone is not treated as a uniform skin, but as a living field—one that records geological time and introduces variation into every piece. Light moves across it unevenly, emphasizing depth, density, and the natural rhythm embedded within the material

Produced in France by skilled artisans, the collection is the result of a careful negotiation between hand and stone. Each curve is carved with intention, each junction resolved through a precise understanding of weight and proportion. The works do not seek to imitate nature, but to align with its logic—offering objects that feel at once composed and instinctive, grounded yet quietly suspended

Maxime Boutillier

Born Bordeaux, France, 1989

A French designer, Boutillier is renowned for his functional sculptures—objects conceived not merely to inhabit a space but to activate it, inviting contemplation and stirring the imagination. Guided by a passion for pure, sculptural aesthetics, he seeks to transcend functionality and create fully sensorial encounters. Each work becomes a fragment of poetry, a moment in which time seems to slow, offering an experience that is emotional, spiritual, communal, and enduring

Boutillier’s creative process is a continuous exploration of the exquisite tensions that shape the world: the rigorous and the fluid, the mineral and the organic, the ephemeral and the lasting. Rich in narrative, every work emerges from this search for equilibrium, where form and function find harmony, where materials express their own stories, and where the object itself becomes an invitation to wonder

His aesthetic vocabulary is defined by a relentless pursuit of essence, sobriety, and restraint. Yet Boutillier understands that theatricality and gesture can coexist with simplicity. In each creation, the study of proportion is paramount: every line and every curve is considered with precision, resulting in silhouettes that are both elegant and sensuous. His purity of form and meticulous craftsmanship, shaped by his training as an interior architect, ensure that nothing is extraneous

More broadly, Boutillier situates his work within the lineage of the 20th-century masters he reveres—Jean-Michel Frank, Jean Royère, Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, Pierre Paulin, and Josef Hoffmann—figures whose minimalist rigor, organic forms, structural poetry, and refined geometries continue to shape modern design. Their influence is evident in his pursuit of balance, where pure lines meet rich materials and functionality carries a subtle lyricism. Yet his creations move beyond homage, offering a distinctly contemporary vision in which traditional craftsmanship and modern sensibility converge

To bring his creations to life, Maxime Boutillier selects only noble, natural, and authentic materials, collaborating closely with exceptional French artisans. These materials are chosen not only for their inherent beauty but for their ability to extend the narrative he constructs through shape, volume, and proportion—creating a dialogue between the tangible and the imaginary. The resulting works merge the delicacy of artisanal craft with the depth of centuries-old expertise

Based in Paris, Boutillier is an Interior Architecture and Design graduate of the prestigious ESAG Penninghen. Before establishing his own studio, he joined Elliott Barnes Interiors and later Joseph Dirand Architecture, where he refined his design language over seven years. His experience working on luxury ready-to-wear boutiques, star-rated hotels, and private residences expanded his creative horizons and sharpened his eye. His work has since been featured at leading design fairs and in major international publications
