The Folies collection embodies the most instinctive and visionary dimension of Maxime d’Angeac’s work, an open and boundless field where furniture, sculpture, and ritual object meet at the threshold. Function falters here so that form can break free, giving rise to pieces that are unexpected, liberated, and boldly singular, among them Pince mi Pince moi, a pair of seats shaped by the hands of their owners, holding the body the way clay holds an impression, the forms carved into a deep-brown varnished walnut, setting the plasticity of gesture against the stillness of a finished object and reawakening a tension that lies at the root of all furniture

Each creation reactivates aesthetic memory drawn from different eras, then translates it into a language that is contemporary, vibrant, and audacious. Folies holds a central place in d’Angeac’s practice, the space where his imagination moves with the greatest freedom, affirming his status as an author and revealing the vitality of his creative universe

Sustaining this perpetual research demands close collaboration with Etienne Rayssac and the Jouffre Atelier, capable of giving these visions physical form, their rare gestures, meticulous precision, and understanding of creative intention anchoring intuition in matter with clarity and finesse

Folies is a living manifesto, a collection in constant motion, continually open, where conceptual audacity meets exceptional craftsmanship, an ever-expanding body of work shaped at the meeting point of imagination, material, and mastery

Handcrafted in France by Maxime d’Angeac in collaboration with Etienne Rayssac and the Jouffre Atelier, Pince mi Pince moi carries Folies spirit forward, each piece unique, shaped with the imprint of its future owner

Maxime D’Angeac

Born in Gers, France, 1962

French architect and designer, D’Angeac built his career across stage design, luxury retail, technical architecture, and refined private commissions, guided throughout by an obsession with the Italian Renaissance, Palladian architecture, and the perfect volumetry of palaces stripped of artifice. His fascination with ancient books and architectural treatises runs through every project he undertakes

D’Angeac approaches each commission with an emphasis on the plan, to which he adds the work of light and an exacting attention to detail, refusing any decorative demonstration in favor of spaces that feel lived in rather than staged. He manages every project from A to Z, from the first drawing to the acquisition of art, taking risks while always reassuring his clients. His practice moves between combat and romance in equal measure — the discipline to resolve every specification and whim, the romanticism to preserve the artistic side of the dream. This same duality defines him outside the studio: a second dan black belt in Krav Maga who trains daily in MMA. Whether designing a luxury private residence or a highly technical operating room for the American Hospital of Paris, he approaches every project with unyielding precision

Trained at the Beaux-Arts and a member of the French Architects’ Association, D’Angeac began his career creating scenography with Hilton McConnico for Daum and Hermès. He opened his own agency in 1992, leading major projects over the three decades that followed. Since 2021, he has served as Creative Director for the new Orient Express, conceiving the return of the brand’s legendary train carriages alongside the interiors of the Orient Express Corinthian, the largest sailing yacht in the world
