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

Artificial intelligence pushes the limits of automation, while artisanal intelligence preserves the authenticity of human gestures and know-how.
The image above is made from a photo of the Polymnia Enfilade which is very real, and a Haussmannian interior recreated by AI.
Between algorithms and expert hands, can we imagine a future where these two forms of intelligence complement each other harmoniously?
The question may arise.

Change a detail,
rethink the whole thing.
This table marks a first:
a foot sculpted in roundness,
a difference but still
the same energy.
