HOW WE WORK
Nicolas Theil founded his house in 2011.

Creativity, innovation and concept, mixed to pure tradition and classical french elegance.
​
Each piece is made on order and takes 2 to 6 weeks to produce.
Materials are carefully selected in Paris, from our most relevant suppliers.
VISION
​
Nicolas Theil questions through his creations, giving them a life and a story of their own, through the theme of his collections he breathes an unspeakable attempt at justification.
Bearer of a typical French know-how, he structures and destructures, invents and reinvents forms and materials, in his Parisian “laboratory” workshop, always in search for innovation. He sometimes recycles his scraps, works with polypropylene for its durability and practicality, or devotes himself to laser engraving.
The designer's way of thinking is so far always joyful, optimistic and a bit ironic, some of the pieces are marked with his famous sentence:
“La Nature est le plus grand des luxes, à consommer avec mode et ration”
Nicolas Theil's work is inspired by a generational concern: the future of the world, its destruction and reconstruction...
“For me, these notions are intrinsic to life. I have faith in nature, in man, I like the mark he leaves on the stone he polishes, the leather he tans”
Nicolas Theil
INSPIRATIONS
​
​
Leather, is the element at the base of his creations, which he aggregates, crumples, structures and destructures, as if to appropriate this nature he cherishes, as if to sublimate it.
​
His first Écorce Végétale collection already set the tone: duality. This will be one of the guidelines to his work. This will be followed by collections related to nature in its broadest terms. Exploring plants, minerals, animals, humanity and the universe.
​
A capacity for evolution that he cherishes, in perpetual mutation, a freedom of expression, speech and creation not bounded to any movement.
