The newsletter of raw materials & delicate inspirations by Laurent PASSE,
creative cabinetmaker in Provence
January 2026
For 2026, I want to wish you something simple yet powerful: to make your plans a reality.
According to Chinese astrology, the year begins under the sign of the Fire Horse, a symbol of energy, movement, and decisiveness.
For my part, I will continue to channel this energy into what truly inspires me: craftsmanship in the service of beauty, and the search for places where it can take shape. Moving forward, traveling, staying in motion—this is what gives you the chance to make wonderful connections.
I wish you a year of commitment and concrete achievements.
Looking forward to seeing you very soon.
Laurent
New destination
In early January, during a furniture delivery in Switzerland, I had the opportunity to meet new people in the world of architecture and interior design.
Reclaimed wood has long been a part of the mountain aesthetic.
Is it time to showcase it with a new design, a new vision?
Kind of blue
What a joy to sprinkle these few drops of blue in a new destination.
A Mademoiselle K who has nothing to envy the blue of Lake Geneva.
Surrounded by works of art, all that remains is for her to get in tune with it, much to the delight of our loyal customers!
La parisienne
This kitchen, soon to be featured on our website, is housed in an early 20th-century Parisian home, whose charm and spirit it extends.
Barutel stone, rough-sawn antique oak, custom-made steel handles: every element was carefully considered to maximize recycling and create a strong identity deeply rooted in the materials.
Let’s meet in Aix on Thursday, March 5, 2026.
