Sculptural
Trained in artistic cabinet work at the Ecole Boulle, Thierry Laudren is lucky to satisfy two of his passions, one enabling him to devote himself to the other. Thierry is a restorer of carved frames for the "Monuments Historiques". Let us cite to his credit 
the sumptuous vault of Bodilis, the Church in Lampaul-Guimiliau (Brittany)… But what he enjoys most, where his imaginations is most fertile is when he creates furniture in carved wood, with drawers, shelves and doors that are finely wrought. All his creations inspired of African art are made out of stained solid oak. His models do not exceed eight copies and are exported abroad.

Thierry Laudren, The cabinet-maker of sculpture-furniture
The parts Thierry Laudren works on are more related to sculpture than to furniture-making. Because if there are drawers and
doors, these pieces can take the shape of bulls, naked women, knights…
"I started with small objects like lamps. But it wasn't really my thing. I personally like the tactile side, I like what is large. I think there isn't much to what is small".
Now, Thierry Laudren shapes, little by little, the large works that can be found in building halls, such as the four creations that the Bouygues company ordered. This order was obtained at the Professional Show of Houses and Objects which is held twice a year at Paris Villepinte . This is where he finds most of the purchasers of his creations which he duplicates up to eight copies for enterprises, but also gallery owners, architects, contemporary art lovers and even Arab princesses.
Thierry Laudren also exhibits in Rennes (Brittany) at the time of the SIMAD and this year, during the International Show for the Professionals of the Art Trades which will be held from October 10th to 13th at the Parc des Expositions, at the same time as the SIMAD.
