The Chill collection by Hervé Langlais is a study in sculptural geometry, where stone is cut, layered, and interlocked with the precision of an architectural plan. Each work unfolds as a composition of pure volumes, slabs that overlap, planes that fold, and blocks that seem to slide into place, revealing an architect’s rigor tempered by a rare sense of ease

Diagonal cuts, carved arches, and stepped silhouettes animate the surfaces, so that each piece shifts in character with every angle and every change of light. The result is a collection of quiet monumentality and unexpected lightness, where the density of stone gives way to a contemporary, almost effortless elegance

Handcrafted in Italy, the collection is realized in rare marbles and silver travertine, alongside glazed ceramic and oak, each material lending its own depth and character to the purity of the form

Hervé Langlais

Born Caen, France, 1964

Hervé Langlais is a Paris-based French architect and designer whose work stands at the crossroads of architecture and sculpture. After training at the Normandy School of Architecture, he worked alongside architect Paul Andreu for over fifteen years. Their collaborations include the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, the Shanghai Oriental Art Center, Roissy Airport, and numerous other landmark projects, an experience that instilled in him a lasting devotion to structure, proportion, and the precision of detail

From the scale of the building, Langlais gradually turned to interior architecture and then to the object itself. From 2012 to 2020, he served as artistic director of the Galerie Negropontes in Paris, where he created an annual collection of furniture and objects rooted in the tradition of French decorative arts. Each series explored a single theme and material, beginning with a collection conceived as an homage to Constantin Brancusi

His limited edition works are noted for their clean shapes, taut lines, and rare materials. Drawing on the legacy of modernist architects and sculptors such as Brancusi, Eduardo Chillida, Carlo Scarpa, Josep Lluís Sert, and Alvar Aalto, Langlais approaches each piece as a structure in its own right. He selects every material for its intrinsic qualities and elevates it through craftsmanship, revealing the texture of stone, the contrast of precious woods, the brilliance of brass, and the depth of lacquer. His designs balance elements of architecture and sculpture, of industry and craftsmanship, of brutality and elegance

His works are realized with renowned French workshops and master marble craftsmen in Italy, and have been presented at international fairs including PAD Paris, PAD London, and the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Alongside his collectible design practice, Langlais designs private interiors and scenography, bringing the same architectural rigor and sense of purity to every scale of his work
