HAOS is a Paris-based design studio founded by Sophie Gelinet and Cedric Gepner in 2017. The pair mainly use wood, bronze and ceramics, articulating their dual interest in contemporary design and the know-how of traditional craftsmanship.
The studio develops an understated signature style that owes its singularity to the raw, radical expression of sculptural shapes and the mastery of sophisticated and refined lines. Their work clearly fits within the tradition of French Decorative Arts but owes its specificity to this balance achieved between rawness and sophistication, as well as the pursuit of a timeless, almost ascetic form of beauty.
Each piece is manufactured in France by master craftsmen trained by decades of experience working with the same material. They are then collected and assembled in the studio’s Parisian workshop.
