Dancing Faun Candle holder in bronze by Patrick Laroche

Franco-Swiss artist Patrick Laroche (b. 1959) has spent more than three decades exploring the expressive potential of marble, bronze, and wood. Trained in traditional sculpture and recognized with the prestigious *Meilleur Ouvrier de France* title in 1997, he is known for combining exceptional craftsmanship with a contemporary artistic vision. His sculptural furniture collection represents a natural extension of this practice. Inspired by ancient civilizations, archaeological architecture, and classical forms, Laroche creates pieces that blur the boundaries between sculpture and design. Cabinets, consoles, tables, and seating take on the presence of enigmatic monuments, where openings, portals, and geometric volumes evoke imagined worlds and timeless narratives. Entirely handcrafted in his workshop in France, each work is shaped from noble materials including marble, bronze, wood, and gold leaf. The collection celebrates the beauty of craftsmanship while embracing a refined, contemporary aesthetic. More than functional objects, these pieces are conceived as collectible works of art. Laroche transforms furniture into sculpture and functionality into poetry, creating designs that bring a strong architectural presence and a unique artistic identity to any interior. Through this collection, he invites collectors to experience design as a dialogue between history, material, and imagination.
