The duo’s quest for clean, simple forms is a showcase of carefully curated materials and savoir-faire. Together, the latter form the language of Garnier & Linker expressed through alabaster, plaster, stone and lost-wax cast glass. The design is in the details, as manifested by the GL hallmarks of material texture and depth.
The French duo’s approach is now embodied in two Paris-based locations, serving as natural extensions. First, the creative studio which is also the showroom for Garnier & Linker collections. And second, the workshop. They use the two spaces to continually exchange ideas, sketches, mock-ups, tests and fragments. Together, they are then handcrafted into models entrusted to French master craftsmen.
Inspired by their Camondo training, Garnier & Linker have rediscovered an urge to deepen their connection with French savoir-faire. The pair will embark on a tour de France visiting workshops in an endeavor to discover and reinterpret a plethora of techniques. That same impetus sparked their first lighting collection, which was swiftly supplemented by further models and a furniture set.
The two French creators exhibit in Europe, the United States and Asia. Their work is regularly used by architects and designers to complement their own projects.
