The notion of a remnant is key to the creative and exploratory "éloj kréyol" approaches that our French-Caribbean studio develops. It first appeared in a conversation with the Guadeloupean poet and writer Ernest Pépin, who said of Creole culture: "We have built ourselves from remnants". He was referring to elements from African, European, Indian and Caribbean cultures that come together to create a new culture.

Over the years, during our travels to the Antilles and in the spirit of such a culture of remnants, we have put together a rich collection of forms, materials and everyday objects. We draw from it for our designs, which celebrate the contribution of the Antilles to today's creative landscape in France.

At the Domaine de Boisbuchet, we want to work with the same site-specific and sensitive approach to the terrain: Our workshop is to be understood as an invitation to take up the things (or parts of things) that embody and narrate this estate and its activities in order to create subtle, sensitive, and poetic visions.

Using artificial elements from previous workshops and natural elements from the surrounding landscape, selected according to affinity and sensitivity, we will create a new collection and become magicians of the material, transforming this collection into a true field of flowers, one that reflects the stories and landscapes of the Domaine.
