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

COLORADO COLLECTION
IN HIS FIRST EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION FOR STUDIOTWENTYSEVEN, BENJAMIN FOUCAUD startS with a seminal and virgin approach to furniture, echoing stories of the creation of the world. With a playful and joyful vocabulary, this collection suggests that a giant hand-arranged the laying trunks, branches, stones and reliefs of a landscape. The hand and the imagination shape this dreamlike collection where Mineral and vegetable shapes and textures mix. within the collection, only the chair contrasts this landscape, standing like the remains of a forgotten temple. This collection plays with freehand forms using age-old tools, such as spokeshaves and drawknIVEs, to carve unique reliefs and contours for each piece of furniture
