Antonis Cardew
After graduating from Fine Arts in London, Antonis turned to cabinetmaking, which allowed him to use his knowledge on three-dimensional projects. A traditional, artisanal and creative activity that quickly responds to his desires. In 1993, he created his London workshop and created custom furniture in solid wood. Seven years later, Antonis crossed the Channel to settle on the outskirts of Paris and became more interested in woodturning.
Between furniture and utility pieces, Antonis always favors local species such as oak, ash, chestnut, lime or even sycamore, and is inspired by their characteristics to make each piece unique. The curves of his creations, both modern and timeless, are sublimated by an oil or wax finish.
