DOMEAU & PÉRÈS EDITIONS

DOMEAU & PÉRÈS

Created by French designer Martin Szekely for the Editions Domeau & Pérès, the DOMO series of chairs and ottoman exemplifies Szekely's renowned perfectionism and craftsmanship exigence. Created in 2005, the set results from the designer's long-standing and ongoing collaboration with the esteemed Parisian design studio, founded by master craftsmen Bruno Domeau and Philippe Pérès. 

The set consists in the juxtaposition of the simplest rectangular forms sculpted in compact layers of foam of different resilience. With detailed engineering and craftsmanship, Domeau and Pérès achieve to create a structureless seat that maintains its sleek appearance while providing a surprising, and memorable comfort as its angular forms spouse and envelop the back of the seater. 

The DOMO series reflects Domeau, Pérès, and the designer’s shared interest in the timeless elegance of pure lines that quietly reveal the artisanal dexterity and the essence of the material. The set is published in a made-to-order, open edition. Each piece features the Edition Domeau & Pérès stamp with the artist's signature.

Behind its iconic, eponymous design editions catalog, the former Paris-based atelier Domeau & Pérès was founded in 1996 by master saddler, upholsterer and furniture makers, Bruno Domeau & Philippe Pérès – both graduates of France’s legendary craftsmanship institution Les Compagnons du Devoir.

A long-kept secret destination for its comprehensive set of expertise and its meticulous work, the atelier has cultivated an international clientele of high expectations. Their special commissions included projects for international private collectors, established artists and discerning businesses such as Falcon Jets, Hermès, LVMH, Karl Lagerfeld, Dior, Berluti, the Bridge Club in Bridgehampton or the Royal Monceau hotel in Paris, amongst others.

Domeau & Pérès' rare design literacy and passion combined with their obsessive pursuit of perfection had also drawn design luminaries such as Marc Newson, Martin Szekely, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Andrée Putman, Pharrel Williams or Pablo Reinoso to the atelier for the development of special commissions. Their longstanding relationships and collaborations with such talents inspired the Editions Domeau & Pérès — its signature collection of exclusive designs created for and developed by the atelier.

Before closing in 2024, Domeau and Pérès have built a significant catalog of contemporary design editions that now belongs to the permanent collections of museums including Le Musée des Arts Décoratifs and produced numerous design exhibitions in collaboration with public institutions including the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum Krefeld, the Jacques Tati estate ‘Les Films de mon Oncle’. In 2005, the two esteemed artisans were bestowed the honoring title of Chevaliers des Arts et des Lettres by the French government for their commitment and ongoing contribution to France’s cultural heritage.
