Emmanuel Gardin's leitmotiv is a metamorphic vision inducing simple creations with multiple uses.
After various collaborations in several fields such as ceramics for "Royal Boch", or the scenography and slow design with "Charles Kaisin", he also experimented other approaches : Set design for "Chine Collection," Architecture at office «Zest", Interior architecture at “Desiron Lizen and experiment the border between design and art with "Charles Kaisin".
What motivated the birth of his own studio is "being able to devote time to research and design simple mechanical methods to distort and change the raw material into clever furnitures that can be use in different ways and meet the practical needs of everyday life".
Among the most emblematic and representative objects of his work, we find the ARUMI / RECTO VERSO / KINO and IKA collections, condensed in simplicity and sustainability.
