It has always been materials and their inherent beauty. Thomas Litière considers materials to be the starting point and the soul of every design. It starts out with the desire to work with a certain material: when learning about a material, discovering its beauty and its properties, it tells us everything. The material tells us about its strengths, its character, how it can be worked and how it wants to be applied. When we surround ourselves by materials, handling them and working them, great ideas arise.
With a background as an industrial designer, Thomas Litière has always been passionate about woodworking and traditional joinery. Building wooden furniture by hand in his workshop, he is convinced that traditional wood joinery remains a cornerstone of quality furniture.
