CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY

CARPENTERS WORKSHOP GALLERY About Us

Carpenters Workshop Gallery transcends classical borders in terms of art and design.
(137)

Its proposal stands just at the intersection of these two universes: reaching precisely a symbiosis of art and design. Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and already established artists and designers going outside their traditional territories of expression. The gallery is actively involved in the research and production of the limited e

dition works exhibited. The choices are guided by the research of an emotional, artistic and historical relevance; a relevance that appears as an evidence. The gallery relies on the partnership of childhood friends, Julien Lombrail and Loic Le Gaillard. They first opened a space in London’s Chelsea in 2006 in a former carpenter’s workshop; they then followed with a second space in Mayfair in 2008. The opening of a 600 square metre space in Paris in 2011 in the heart of Le Marais district, an address steeped in history as it was previously occupied by the Galerie de France for several decades, was a return to their roots.

2015 marks a major turning point for the gallery with the opening of Carpenters Workshop | Roissy, a unique 8,000 meter square space dedicated to artistic research and development, bringing together the elite of artisans, an homage to the French heritage of ‘Arts Décoratifs’. Carpenters Workshop Gallery London at Ladbroke Hall is the latest step in the gallery’s remarkable development. This new space opening in April 2023 confirms the leadership and dominant position of the gallery in today’s international territory of art and design. The artists represented by the gallery are:
Atelier Van Lieshout - Maarten Baas - Sebastian Brajkovic - Andrea Branzi - Humberto & Fernando Campana - Nacho Carbonell - Wendell Castle - Vincenzo de Cotiis - Ingrid Donat - Vincent Dubourg - Johanna Grawunder - Stuart Haygarth - Mathier Lehanneur - Les M - Frederik Molenschot - Nendo - Rick Owens - Wonmin Park - Random International - Pablo Reinoso - Robert Stadler - Studio Drift - Studio Job - Charles Trevelyan

“Charles Trevelyan grew up fascinated with the natural textures and color palettes of Western Australia’s wilderness, which both influenced his transition from studying science to the arts and how he favors hand-made maquettes and material experimentation when conceptualizing his sculptural, nature-inspired furniture” - Featured in Designer of the Day Series

’s solo exhibition, ‘Vignettes’ is currently on view at Carpenters Workshop Gallery London comprised of his experiments alongside completed works that open a window into his creative process, bringing concept and development to the fore.

The exhibition begins on the ground floor of the gallery with the Fuse series, including a previously unseen console in a striking Alpi Green marble.

Fuse was derived initially from a thought experiment involving the fusion of simple forms to create structure, the evolution of this series was informed by both wooden puzzles from childhood and the construction of simple maquettes in which pins were used to temporarily assemble larger structures.

Translating the concept from maquette to large sculptural pieces in marble and bog oak required a meticulous design process involving precise sculpting of curved geometries to enable the forms to slot together and lock.

‘Flora Coffee Table Bronze 200 Brunswick’ 2024

Juxtaposed with unique floral compositions cast in dark green and rust-hued resin, the pieces evoke whirlpools of water, inviting the viewer to delve deep into the alchemy of materials.

Our Story

Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and established artists and designers, often venturing outside their traditional territories of expression.

Actively involved in the research and production of the limited edition works exhibited the gallery’s choices are guided by the demand for the emotional, artistic and historical relevance of any new project; a relevance that is clearly evident.

The gallery relies on the partnership of childhood friends, Julien Lombrail and Loic Le Gaillard. Julien & Loic first opened a space in London’s Chelsea in 2006 in a former carpenter’s workshop; they now operate three galleries globally in London’s Mayfair, New York as well as Paris.

The opening of the Carpenters Workshop Gallery | San Francisco in Saint Joseph’s this September is a new step of their journey.
