PROFILE

AFTER GRADUATING IN HISTORY OF ART, ANTOINE LABOUREL STARTED TO MAKING JEWELS IN 2019.

ALL THE PIECES ARE DESIGNED WITH REFLEXION, PATIENCE, AND TIME. THE CREATIONS BRING A DUALITY BETWEEN BRUTALITY AND TENDERNESS, SIMPLICITY AND REFINEMENT.

THE JEWELS ARE MADE WITH CLASSIC AND CONTEMPORARY SILVERSMITHING TECHNIQUES. THE DETAILS IN THE IMPERFECTIONS REFLECT AN AESTHETIC VALUE. EVERYTHING IS INTENDED, HAS ITS PURPOSE.

ANTOINE LABOUREL IS AIMING TO UNISEX CREATIONS, DEFENDING MANUAL WORK BUT ALSO INDIVIDUAL AND TIMELESS DESIGN. EVERY PIECE IS HANDCRAFTED IN FRANCE AND MADE TO ORDER.

PHILOSOPHY

EACH JEWELRY IS INTENDED TO BE UNIQUE AND THOUGHT TO BE SUFFICIENT ON ITS OWN. THE CREATIONS ARE DESIGNED TO BE PERCEIVED AS SINGULAR PIECES.

BETWEEN SCULPTURE AND JEWELRY, EACH PIECE FROM ANTOINE LABOUREL WORKSHOP IS DEVOTED TO BE COMPLETELY UNIQUE AND MEANT TO BE FOR A PARTICULAR PERSON.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE FORM IN WHICH HE SPEAKS ABOUT HIS CREATIONS. THE PROCESS OF ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY IS INDIRECTLY CORRELATED WITH HIS HANDMADE ACTIVITY, LEADING TO UNREPEATABLE AND DISTINCT WORK.
