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

Gabriel
The Gabriel collection by Martin Massé is a striking manifesto for a dark Neo Art Deco movement. Rooted in the bold visual language of New York’s Art Deco era, the collection reinterprets this iconic aesthetic with a contemporary sensibility, blending opulent materials with architectural precision
Each work embodies a sense of layered simplicity with restrained and sculptural forms. Stacked geometries reference the architectural ambitions of Art Deco skyscrapers, while soft, flowing curves suggest a sense of human intimacy and refinement. The collection’s interplay of light and shadow draws the eye to an intricate dialogue between shapes and surfaces
Gabriel draws particular inspiration from the sculptural and sensual contrasts found in the work of Tamara de Lempicka, a master of Art Deco portraiture and figuration, particularly her nudes from her New York period. Known for her bold depictions of modern femininity and her highly stylized, sculptural treatment of the human form, Lempicka’s influence imbues the collection with a striking interplay of sensuality and structure, of voluptuous curves and disciplined geometric forms. Massé’s works echo her aesthetic, where stark, angular forms frame and elevate supple, curvilinear shapes, evoking a balance that feels both human and monumental
Each work channels the optimism and ambition of the Art Deco era through its use of luxurious materials that exude confidence and timeless elegance: Rosso di Masso marble and satin-varnished Macassar ebony. Handcrafted by the master artisans at Atelier Saint Jacques in France, the limited edition works are both a celebration of historical artistry and a testament to contemporary craftsmanship
