The newsletter of raw materials & delicate inspirations by Laurent PASSE,

Artificial intelligence pushes the limits of automation, while artisanal intelligence preserves the authenticity of human gestures and know-how.

The image above is made from a photo of the Polymnia Enfilade which is very real, and a Haussmannian interior recreated by AI.

Between algorithms and expert hands, can we imagine a future where these two forms of intelligence complement each other harmoniously?

The question may arise.

Without compromise

Curves game

Change a detail,

rethink the whole thing.

This table marks a first:

a foot sculpted in roundness,

a difference but still

the same energy.

The Rendez-vous

At the end of May, immerse yourself in the world of my new creations, including a major piece born from an unprecedented collaboration…

From May 21 to 25, I am exhibiting again at the “Révélations” biennial of crafts at the Grand Palais. 

More than 500 creators from around the world will exhibit unique works, celebrating the excellence of artistic crafts.
