Béatrice Blanchard

Profile

Béatrice Blanchard belongs to a generation of creators who are challenging the established norms of materials. An artist, craftswoman, and designer, she dedicates her work to gilding and contemporary creations where gold, her preferred material, is reinvented far from its classical representations.

Trained in traditional gilding, she lends her expertise to exceptional projects, both in France and abroad. Historical monuments, private residences, heritage sites: her precise and demanding craftsmanship has earned her the attention of those seeking projects where excellence is paramount.

But Béatrice Blanchard doesn't simply perpetuate a traditional craft; she innovates. Her discovery, laGaluchette, transforms gold into organic and mineral surfaces, offering a unique material that blurs the lines between tradition and contemporary creation.

Influenced by the Bauhaus movement and its penchant for interdisciplinary dialogue, she champions meticulous, meaningful, and handcrafted production. Her works—furniture, objects, experiments, and conceptual pieces—are as thought-provoking as they are captivating, asserting a singular aesthetic and a responsible approach to precious materials.

At the crossroads of art and design, Béatrice Blanchard continues her research, questioning the value, origin, and transformation of noble materials, while anchoring gilding in a new modernity.
