About the Item

The EOO-1 Ottoman is handmade on order by expert artisans in France. Each piece is numbered and signed by the designer and the craftsman. A keen draftsman, Emmanuel Outy spent his childhood between Brittany and the French Riviera, in a family - notably his grandfather - that was highly attuned to the arts. Soon after graduating from LISAA Rennes in 2003, this architect and designer, who greatly admires Auguste Perret, Adolf Loos and Jean Prouvé, as well as Japanese archtecture and the work of the Bouroullec brothers, was featured at the Maison & Objet trade fair and joined Eric Gizard’s design agency. During the highly formative ten years he spent with Eric Gizard, Emmanuel Outy learned about every aspect involved in the creation of prestigious worksites, both in France and abroad. These included projects for private homes, hotels, luxury boutiques and tapestries for the French Mobilier National. It was an exciting experience on the fluidity among spaces and furniture / objects and about ongoing dialogues with artisans and manufacturers - one that he has continued solo since 2012 after launching his own studio: YDSGN. While Emmanuel Outy admittedly “cultivates humility and discretion”, he has now stepped up ; after creating custom pieces for private clients for years, he is now about to unveil his very first collection, for signé. These are virtually “calligraphed” pieces, with precise curves, a quasi-monastic touch and unrivalled comfort, produced by exceptional master craftsmen - works that clearly and quietly stand out as sensual micro-architectures.
