STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN
Benjamin Foucaud
Born Amiens, France, 1980
A French designer and craftsman, Foucaud is determined to listen to his unconscious more than his logic. Drawing inspiration from his dreams and inner journeys, he creates spontaneous, surreal, adventurous, and radical designs that celebrate unorthodox paths, freedom and true self
Trained as a cabinet maker, Foucaud primarily uses traditional techniques and centuries-old manual tools to deliver unique and sculptural pieces, wood becomes rich or humble, rough or sophisticated, simple or surprising. In his design process, he engages like a sculptor in hand-to-hand combat with wood and the different materials he uses, giving idiosyncratic character to every piece in his handcrafted collections, in limited editions and exclusive pieces for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, which seem to defy categorization
Born in Amiens, France, he pursued a career as a Creative Director in digital before devoting himself to the design and manufacture of unique and high-end furniture for clients such as Wes Anderson. His work has been featured in premier design publications around the world, including Vogue France

WITH THE PLAYFUL-YET-SOPHISTICATED BRIUS DESK, DESIGNER BENJAMIN FOUCAULD UPENDS OUR PRECONCEPTIONS ABOUT WHAT A WORKSPACE CAN BE AND MEAN. THE BRIUS IS AN EXPRESSION OF CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION, RATHER THAN A SIGNIFIER OF POWER, IMPORTANCE, AND EGO. FULL OF DREAMLIKE SHAPES, THE DESK IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE QUESTIONS AND SOLVE PROBLEMS WITH UNCONVENTIONAL THINKING. WITH ITS INVITING LINES AND INSPIRING FORMS, IT IS A SPECTACULAR AND SCULPTURAL PIECE THAT BESPEAKS THE INGENUITY OF ITS DESIGNER AND USER ALIKE
AT THE SAME TIME AS IT POSITS BOLD CONCEPTUAL IDEAS, THE BRIUS IS A COLLECTIBLE ITEM AND A FUNCTIONAL INNOVATION THAT SOLVES A NUMBER OF DESIGN PROBLEMS CONVENTIONAL DESKS CANNOT. PRACTICAL AND CLEVER, IT OFFERS MORE SURFACES AND COMPARTMENTS THAN MOST DESKS, PROVIDING EASY ORGANIZATION BETWEEN THE TWO LEVELS. FOLDERS, COMPUTERS, AND SUPPLIES CAN BE EASILY HIDDEN IN THE VARIOUS PILLARS AND PARTITIONS, PROVIDING A CLEAN WORKING SPACE. IT CAN BE USED ON BOTH SIDES, AND EVEN PROVIDE AN INTEGRATED SEAT
IN SHORT, THE BRIUS PROVIDES A CREATIVE AND ADAPTABLE DESK EXPERIENCE FOR THE MOST DISCERNING AND ORIGINAL THINKERS AMONG US. WITH THE FINEST FRENCH ARTISANSHIP, THE DESK IS BEAUTIFULLY CONSTRUCTED OF French white oak WITH shellac, linseed oil finish, AND a beeswax polish. It is made in France by FOUCAULD and is Exclusive to STUDIOTWEntYSEVEN
