2 years ago

From Functional Art to Collectible Design, today Carpenters Workshop Gallery (CWG) produces
and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and established artists or designers
going outside their traditional territories of expression. Actively involved in the research and
production of limited edition works, the gallery’s choices are guided by seeking an emotional,
artistic and historical relevance and breaking boundaries between art and design.

The gallery relies on the partnership of childhood friends, Julien Lombrail and Loïc le Gaillard.
They first opened a space in London’s Chelsea in 2006 in a former carpenter’s workshop;
they now operate four galleries globally in London, Paris, New York and LA.

In 2015, the gallery opened The Workshop in Roissy, a unique 8,000 square meters space dedicated to artistic research bringing together the elite of artisans. Today, Carpenters Workshop Gallery is recognised as a leading gallery for contemporary collectible design.
