Pascale Theodoly

Pascale Theodoly's work in furniture design and production over the past fifteen years deploys simple forms to express the visual qualities of wood. Like the constellation of artist-craftsmen who subtly influence her practice - Donald Judd, Anni Albers, Gerrit Rietveld - Pascale Theodoly's practice sublimates technique, creating invisible yet concrete invitations to meditate on the construction of everyday forms; these forms constitute an open poetics of space, object, body, light and time. Her Paris-based studio functions both as a production site (where all pieces are handmade by the artist herself) and as a place of exchange and research, where she welcomes customers and learners. Pascale Theodoly graduated from the École Textile Dupérré and the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in Object Design, before training in carpentry and setting up her studio in 2009.
