Design Studio

Caroline Ziegler and Pierre Brichet are the designers behind the Parisian studio BrichetZiegler, created in 2010. Specialists in the creation of furniture and a wide range of other items, their approach to color and material is characterized by a blend of simple and geometric expressivity.

Whether it's their own collection (under the name By Hands) or in collaboration with brands (such as Petite Friture, DCWéditions, Pulpo, and Moustache), they like to mix aesthetics with functionality. Some of their pieces have been acquired by the Mobilier National and the Centre national des arts plastiques, not to mention that their Ombre Portée lamps sit in the President's office!
