Lucie de Chaumont

Folie N°1

Folie No.1, the first of an open-ended series of objects, born or yet to be born, actors in or witnesses to everyday rituals.

To lay words down on paper and fold the envelope shut, as one lies down for the night and draws the bed closed around oneself. To lay down, to fold, to close the box, to close one's eyes. It is the story of a single day, endless or repeated, the search for rightness, rising to its height, A sigh.

    Based in Paris, Lucie de Chaumont is an interior architect and furniture designer. She trained at ESAM Design in Paris and worked with the architecture studio of Clément Lesnoff-Rocard. Her practice spans interior architecture, furniture and object design, set design and photography. In 2024 she presented her Skin chair at THEMA, a design show held in a hôtel particulier on rue de l’Université. During Paris Design Week she showed Folie No.2 – The Dance of Æther at Galerie Boketto, an installation of suspended censer-chandeliers she describes as ritual anchors that make the invisible manifest.

    Her research focuses on sensory experiences that draw on the unconscious and on social behaviour, going beyond function to give objects meaning. She designs her pieces like bodies or individuals, each one telling of our feelings, our paradoxes and our intimacy. Works such as Skin, Peau and Le jour et la nuit treat furniture as something closer to a presence than a utility.

    Silent witnesses, inert yet alive, her objects are less furniture than inhabitants.
