Exclusively for STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, Collection X is a study in structural purity and material integrity, where the butterfly joint—a defining feature of midcentury craftsmanship—is reimagined on a monumental scale. Traditionally a discreet structural element, here it becomes the central visual and functional motif. Rooted in the legacy of modernist craftsmanship, the collection reinterprets dovetail joinery with a Neo-Brutalist sensibility, emphasizing both precision and expressive force

Engaging in a dialogue with the legacy of George Nakashima and Sori Yanagi, Collection X honors the history of the butterfly joint while extending its possibilities, asserting its own contemporary language through a heightened sense of balance and suspension. The interplay of geometric planes and elegantly curved lines creates a dynamic tension, evoking both stability and movement. Architectural in its logic and inventive in its execution, the the series is both rigorous and playful, monumental yet brimming with levity

Handcrafted in France, Collection X is an investigation of the poetic potential of joinery—where craftsmanship is not merely a technical feat but a means of articulating form, space, and material in its purest state

Matthieu Recope de Tilly

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
