Artist Name

Frédéric Saulou

Hometown: Anjou

Based in: France

Originally from Anjou, I examine the post-industrial heritage of local mineral matter and explore the realm of possibilities of creating functional designs for living spaces. I do this by examining history, minerals and their everyday impact on art and design. I recreate, democratise and accentuate slate and limestone as future heritages and, above all, as materials to reflect on. I am passionate about combining artisanal and industrial know-how for creative purposes, reinterpreting material in a formal and conceptual manner with the aim of reevaluating it on another scale - that of contemporary design.

“Domestiquer” (Domesticate) is a project that aims to reintegrate heritage with the author’s design process, fueled by encounters of creative and economic thought with partners and collaborators.
I explore and combine the industrial and artisanal units of production in a given region in order to design a constructive, social and meaningful project. This gives rise to new ways of applying mineral matter and stone craftsmanship, which are constantly evolving. Through my work, I study the adaptability of hybrid objects to the domestic world fueled by transmitting thoughts and knowledge.
