FRANCK GENSER
Fascinated by the essence of objects and all the dimensions of their influence on individuals, Franck Genser founded his design workshop in Paris in 2015. There, he assembled a multidisciplinary team of engineers and artisans. To create his furniture pieces, he draws inspiration from his imagination and explores the realms of perception. His creations combine functionality, art, and emotion.
Form as function
With an engineering background and a passion for entrepreneurship, Franck Genser also expresses himself in more diverse fields such as Gestalt therapy, an approach focused on the constant interaction between human beings and their environment. According to Franck, “Creation doesn’t always have to meet a demand. For the types of uses I’m interested in, the aesthetic function of the object is the primary dimension of its use. It’s about what the object’s contact makes us experience. I work on the psychological utility of the object.”
Testament of our era
Driven by a sensitive aesthetic, Franck Genser doesn’t hesitate to blend various exceptional skills to craft a piece. He works with noble materials, which will age gracefully over time, such as walnut, parchment, marble, and Japanese lacquer. This unique approach results in objects brimming with emotions. They fit into a heritage perspective, serving as a contemporary and future testament of our era.
Freedom of creation
As a private workshop, Franck has the privilege of taking the risk of creation. This choice is one of freedom. There’s no need to follow trends or reproduce what has already been done. His ambition is to create new forms.
