The exhibition begins on the ground floor of the gallery with the Fuse series, including a previously unseen console in a striking Alpi Green marble.
Fuse was derived initially from a thought experiment involving the fusion of simple forms to create structure, the evolution of this series was informed by both wooden puzzles from childhood and the construction of simple maquettes in which pins were used to temporarily assemble larger structures.
Translating the concept from maquette to large sculptural pieces in marble and bog oak required a meticulous design process involving precise sculpting of curved geometries to enable the forms to slot together and lock.

Our Story
Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and established artists and designers, often venturing outside their traditional territories of expression.
Actively involved in the research and production of the limited edition works exhibited the gallery’s choices are guided by the demand for the emotional, artistic and historical relevance of any new project; a relevance that is clearly evident.
The gallery relies on the partnership of childhood friends, Julien Lombrail and Loic Le Gaillard. Julien & Loic first opened a space in London’s Chelsea in 2006 in a former carpenter’s workshop; they now operate three galleries globally in London’s Mayfair, New York as well as Paris.
The opening of the Carpenters Workshop Gallery | San Francisco in Saint Joseph’s this September is a new step of their journey.
