AUTOMA 05 BENCH BY MARTIN MASSÉ

Martin Massé

Born Nantes, France, 1990

A Parisian architect and designer, Massé combines the tradition of exceptional French craftsmanship with ultra-contemporary design. With simple, pure proportions and noble materials, Massé composes bold, structural works that are strongly influenced by ancient Italian architecture, Japanese craftsmanship, and the Art Deco movement. At the same time, his pieces reference science fiction, travel, poetry, and cinema. This balance of the ancient and the modern create singularly timeless furniture

Massé trained at Penninghen and L’Ecole Speciale D’Architecture in Paris. He worked with such architects and designers as Joseph Dirand, Tristan Auer, and Jean-Michel Wilmotte before founding his own studio in 2017
