The newsletter of raw materials & delicate inspirations by Laurent PASSE,
creative cabinetmaker in Provence
January 2025

A year filled with creations,
collaborations and travels!
I presented upcycling at the Artisans d’Excellence fair in Paris and talked about my work and the Japanese technique of charred wood with Karine Le Marchand on M6, as part of her Domaine des Belles Âmes – Beautiful Souls project.
Another adventure also led me to take part in the renovation of a magnificent property in Maussane-les-Alpilles, in collaboration with interior designer Margherita Olivero.
There were several projects on the Isle of Beauty, where our materials proved to be a perfect match. Encounters, where we shared the Corsican art of living, inspire us again this year to undertake new creations.
I would like to thank my team and all our partners – architects, decorators, master artisans, and artists – with whom I have the pleasure of collaborating each year.
Thank you to all of you who have followed me for so long, especially through this newsletter. I wish you all the best for the future and hope that creation and art will continue to enrich your lives
Laurent
“2025… Marked by Encounters”

The year began with a trip to Paris during design week. In a few days, our samples of old wood found their place in prestigious Parisian showrooms.
Matter is the leitmotif! Like a conversion of the gaze, our woodwork allows us to discover this material. A raw material that interior designers can re-appropriate for projects with a new aesthetic. In the workshop, our know-how is to add this extra soul.
Bellezza

This kitchen, overlooking the bay of Bandol, combines wood and stone.
Discover on the site, more details on this project carried out in 2024 in collaboration with the architect Gilles El Khoury and the company Swac & Construction.
Révélations 2025

From May 21st to 25th, I will be present again at the Révélation show which will be held at the Grand Palais in Paris.
A new opportunity for me to present furniture made from recycled wood … and more!
