Specializing in decorative lighting, monumental installations and avant-garde brass furniture, Mydriaz has garnered worldwide recognition and acclaim for its functional sculptures that bridge the gap between tradition and innovation.
The company was founded in 2011 by Parisian designers Cyril Kaleka, Jennifer Midoz and Malo du Bouëtiez, whose focus was on creating elegant lighting and furniture by combining traditional manufacturing with contemporary techniques. Their daring and technically artistic pieces quickly captured the attention of French furniture designers and critics, and the trio won the Emerging Talent Award for Arts and Crafts presented by the Bureau Design Mode Métiers d’Art in 2013.
Today, Midoz and du Bouëtiez oversee the production of Mydriaz’s handmade pieces in the company’s Paris workshop. Brass is predominant in many of Mydriaz’s pieces, such as chandeliers and pendant lights, gueridons, coffee tables, armchairs and mirrors. However, the designers also incorporate high-quality materials like marble, textured, tinted and blown glass, fine woods, ceramics and textiles for furnishings that are distinctly modern. For instance, the cupcake-like Tabouret Merveilleux stool features a luxurious combination of enameled porcelain and brass, while the striking Ryu wall lamp marries warm golden-plated, polished brass with textured plaster.
Throughout the past decade, Mydriaz has collaborated with several notable artists and designers, such as Pierre Huyghe, Odile Soudant, Laurent Grasso and Martino Gamper, to name a few. Also, numerous publications, including Marie-Claire Maison, Elle Decoration, Architectural Digest and Maison & Jardin, have featured Mydriaz’s furniture and lighting.
Many of the brand's sophisticated pieces can be seen in the boutiques of luxury houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Diane von Furstenberg and Cartier, as well as at Parisian destinations such as the Palais de Tokyo and Hôtel de la Marine.
