At the heart of the Franck Genser workshop, the art of lacquer takes center stage, inspired by his extensive journeys and encounters with gifted artists. Among them, the revered lacquer master Nagatoshi Onishi profoundly impacted Franck Genser's work. Fueled by infinite patience and an unwavering quest for perfection, Onishi's influence is unmistakably evident in Genser's exquisite creations. Among these exceptional works, the Onishi coffee table is a testament to the rich legacy of Japanese vegetable lacquer. Painstakingly crafted using the Urusgi technique, the table undergoes more than 24 meticulous lacquering stages, each separated by precise sanding to achieve an impeccable finish. The result is a masterpiece that boasts sleek lines, sophistication, and a profound tribute to the art of Japanese lacquer work. |

| | | | The Franck Genser workshop's devotion to excellence extends to the delicate art of alabaster. With unwavering passion, Franck Genser's team hand-selects the finest stones and crafts alabaster surfaces that enchant with their fine grain and whiteness. Some of these precious stones originate from the same deposit once mined by designer Jacques-Emilie Ruhlmann in the 1920s in the Paris region. Drawing from this profound know-how, the workshop designed the Toutaime lamp, which enhances alabaster's natural transparency and facets while bathing interiors in a soft, diffused light. |
