Commode Mademoiselle K en bois ancien par Laurent PASSE

Laurent PASSE is a cabinetmaker and founder of the company LPasse Design dedicated to interior decoration and furniture publishing. Son of antique dealers and expert in medieval art, he drew his love of ancient materials from his family heritage. Laurent began his career in cabinetmaking and improved over the years in stone cutting and ironwork. Upcycling is in the company’s DNA. Laurent and his team work every day to add “extra soul”. As wood alchemists, they transform ancient materials in this workshop which becomes the athanor, where an old Burgundian barn floor becomes a guest table. Laurent PASSE skilfully combines old materials and advanced technologies and adorns our interiors with old wagon floors, barn floors, old wooden bridges from the Rhône, or cheese boards... For several years, Laurent has been perfecting the “shou sugi ban” technique, which allows wood to be tinted and protected by fire and not by synthetic products. The gradual abandonment of petroleum-based products is also part of the eco-responsible approach initiated several years ago. Burning wood here also reflects a symbolic and, so to speak, spiritual approach in the creation of furniture.
