Represented since 2011 by maison parisienne.
A young designer of outstanding talent, Pierre Renart is revolutionizing the codes of cabinetmaking, combining traditional savoir-faire with new technologies and developing a unique approach to working in wood. Through curves and counter-curves, he achieves forms that are timeless and creates furniture with clean, flowing lines in a repertoire that is both subtle and sensual. Tirelessly exploring new transformation techniques, Pierre Renart works from veneered sheets of wood from French forests, glued individually with resin according to the glued-laminate technique. The first step in preparing the wood creates the illusion of a single endless strip. This is then shaped into the form of the piece of furniture before being finished off.
Pierre Renart’s furniture has a powerful presence, at once sculptural and functional.
His works are part of prestigious public and private collections. In 2019, a Möbius console in American walnut became part of the public collections of the MAD – Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The Mobilier National then acquired several of its pieces: a Möbius console in padouk and an Éclosion coffee table in 2020, as well as an Éclosion high table in 2023. In 2021, a Möbius console in American walnut joined the collections of the Palais des Rois de Sardaigne in Nice.
In 2016, Pierre Renart designed the furniture for the Café du Studio Harcourt in Paris. In 2020, he created seven monumental pieces for the lobby of 22 Bishopsgate Building in London. Since 2021, he has been working with Longchamp to design bespoke furniture for their boutique and shop windows, in France and abroad.
Finally, the Hôtel Solvay, a private museum in Brussels, is acquiring his Banquette Möbius Alliance in 2025.
To mark Paris Design Week 2026, maison parisienne is presenting “Arabesque”, a monumental installation by Pierre Renart, measuring 260 cm high, 390 cm long and 235 cm wide.
This artwork is on display in the gardens of the Hôtel de Rohan. Crafted from laminated Moabi wood veneer, this single-piece work creates the illusion of a continuous ribbon whose curves interact with the historic architecture of this heritage site, which has recently reopened to the public.
A truly poetic piece of street furniture, it offers two seating options designed for contemplation: on one side, a comfortable bench with a backrest; on the other, a chaise longue. The enveloping curve arches over the heads of those seated, creating a veritable cocoon that invites a moment of relaxation and daydreaming, whilst remaining a space for socialising and interaction.
