Profile

He began his apprenticeship in 2014 and traveled to France for several years where he trained in various companies, in traditional carpentry and heritage restoration. In 2017, he went to live in Japan for a year. He worked for the Roy Mokkou company, which built a tea pavilion and participated in the construction of a temple with the Momoyama company. It was a new world that opened up to him, with new types of wood, new tools, new gestures and another way of thinking. He will remain deeply marked by this experience which will lastingly inspire his practice of the profession. Back in France, he worked for historical monuments in Troyes and in 2020 joined the École Polytechnique de Bari to carry out a one-year research project on assemblies. By studying ancient construction techniques and parametric design, he created a construction game inspired by dovetails: Gumi. In 2021, he joined the European Institute of Carpentry, Fitting and Cabinetmaking where he developed new training courses for the Compagnons du Devoir. At the same time, he continued to train in artisanal design at the Grands Ateliers as well as in the Art du Trait and became a trainer for the Marseille School of Architecture. He wrote a thesis on learning through play and joined the Fondation de Coubertin in 2022 to deepen his artistic culture before creating a tailor-made training and furniture design company: Menuiserie Kinoko. He continues to travel and share his passion for woodworking, respecting the material and those who transform it.
