A PROPOS
BORN FRANCE, 1988
A FRENCH DESIGNER AND INTERIOR ARCHITECT, RECOPE DE TILLY CREATES EXTRAORDINARY SPACES, FURNITURE PIECES, AND OBJECTS THAT EMBODY PURITY, SIMPLICITY, AND TIMELESSNESS. WITH A DEEP RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING OF CENTURIES-OLD FRENCH CRAFTSMANSHIP, HIS DESIGN PROCESS REAPPROPRIATES AND ELEVATES TRADITIONAL ARTISAN TECHNIQUES TO CREATE CONTEMPORARY OBJECTS AND PIECES THAT REFLECT HIS OWN REFRESHING, ELEGANT, AND SIMPLE AESTHETIC. RECOPE DE TILLY’S WORK PAYS HOMAGE TO THE GREAT HISTORY OF FRENCH DESIGN AND IS FULL OF HIDDEN TRIBUTES AND REFERENCES TO MASTER DESIGNERS AND ARTISANS IN WHOSE FOOTSTEPS HE FOLLOWS. AN INGENIOUS CRAFTSMAN IN HIS OWN RIGHT, HIS PIECES ARE SINGULAR IN THEIR ABILITY TO CREATE BREATHTAKING ELEGANCE IN THE UTTER SIMPLICITY OF THEIR DETAILS
AFTER GRADUATING FROM L’ECOLE BLEUE IN PARIS, RECOPE DE TILLY HONED HIS TECHNIQUE AND EXQUISITE VISION WORKING ALONGSIDE LUIS LAPLACE, DIDIER GOMEZ, AND HEDVIG ERSMAN, AMONG OTHERS, ON PRESTIGIOUS DESIGN PROJECTS THROUGHOUT EUROPE AND AROUND THE WORLD
