The RAÇINES collection brings together the distinctive influences and inspirations that have shaped Boutillier’s aesthetic universe and his approach as a designer. As the name of the collection suggests, these singular pieces are an exploration of Boutillier’s artistic roots: a celebration of the art, architecture, and design movements that formed his incomparable vision

PRAHA 01 and PRAHA 02 are chairs that pay homage to the Czech Cubist movement that swept Prague in the early twentieth century. A movement that eschewed boundaries between art, architecture, and design, Czech Cubism was marked by slicing planes and crystalline shapes that married emotion and utility

Boutillier’s PRAHA chairs honor and reinterpret that aesthetic to create something remarkably contemporary, even futuristic. Boldly sculptural but resolutely functional, they occupy the border between design and art. The stunning stainless steel finish lends an ethereal and reflective quality, further blurring the lines between the past and the future, the self and the collective, the brutal and the delicate

Handmade by artisans in France, the PRAHA works are of a numbered, limited edition

Maxime Boutillier

Born Bordeaux, France, 1989

A French designer and interior architect, Boutillier is a lover of pure and sculptural aesthetics. Guided by the notion that ‘creation is the art of foretelling one’s past, his contemporary designs are rooted in the rich history of French decorative arts. Carefully considering the intimate relationship between material and shape, Boutillier creates furniture singular in its elegant balance of history and the world to come. Uncompromising in his search for authenticity and excellence, Boutillier is noted for his dedication to noble materials and traditional French craftsmanship

After graduating from Penninghen in Paris, Boutillier worked for Joseph Dirand for seven years. He founded his own studio in 2020
