A Bras Ouverts is a study in the architecture of welcome—a work in which structural rigor and sensory generosity are held in deliberate tension. The frame, assertive and precisely articulated in dark lacquer or brushed oak, anchors the piece with an unmistakable clarity of form, while the voluminous, rounded cushions—upholstered in Sierra alpaca by Inata—emerge from within it like a gesture of invitation, soft and enveloping against the hardness of the structure

The dialogue between these two material presences is the defining proposition of the work: where the frame imposes discipline, the upholstery yields; where one element commands, the other receives. This interplay generates a subtle but powerful tension—between containment and openness, between the architectural and the bodily—that transforms the act of sitting into something closer to shelter. The contours are calibrated not merely for comfort but for a specific quality of repose: still, protected, unhurried

Stripped of ornament and resolved with remarkable economy of means, A Bras Ouverts distills the idea of refuge into a single cohesive gesture. Handcrafted in France by Ateliers Saint-Jacques Foundation and Siegeair, it exists as both an object of formal precision and an artifact of quiet, contemporary warmth

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
