About the Artist

Gilles Caffier’s creations blend craft and technology, inspired by nature. Pure and sensuous, his lines bend the classical codes: leather becomes metal, textures transform, minimalism becomes exuberance.
Each piece, handcrafted, reflects ancestral know-how and a constant curiosity. His collections are in limited editions.
Gilles Caffier attracts buyers from around the world, found in design shops, galleries, and concept stores. His clientele, drawn from the fashion world, frequents places like Brown’s (London), 10 Corso Como (Milan), or The Link (Singapore). His works are also featured in major stores such as Le Bon Marché, Harrods, or Neiman Marcus.
His works are also exhibited in prestigious showrooms such as B&B Italia and Minotti, and selected by architects for high-end projects.
He also collaborates with prestigious hotels and restaurants worldwide, including SPoon by Alain Ducasse, Parrot Cay Hotel, The Metropolitan in London, Park Hyatt in Melbourne, and Cheval Blanc in Courchevel. Tokyo’s Mandarin Oriental has also selected several pieces in limited editions.
