DOMEAU & PÉRÈS EDITIONS

DOMEAU & PÉRÈS

Created by French designer Martin Szekely for the Editions Domeau & Pérès, the SATRAGNO table exemplifies Szekely's renowned perfectionism and craftsmanship exigence. The piece results from the designer's long-standing collaboration with the esteemed Parisian atelier and design studio founded by master craftsmen Bruno Domeau and Philippe Pérès.

Closed today, the open edition of Szekely's SATRAGNO was published in three different lengths. Each table features the Edition Domeau & Pérès stamp with the artist's signature underneath the tabletop. 

The design reflects the two French masters and the designer’s shared interest in pure lines that subtly reveal the artisanal dexterity and the essence of the material. 

The striated cross-section of the table is achieved through the process of joining five thin planks of walnut. After being cut, the 10 mm thin planks are kept in a humid environment to maintain the stasis of the wood and minimize its future shrinkage or expansion. The five planks are selected based on the grain colors to achieve the contrasted layers of the table's edges. Once selected, the master woodcrafters sand the planks to a thickness of 7 mm and layer the planks. After adhering the planks together, the table is meticulously sanded to accentuate the grain inherent to the wood and finished the surface with a varnish solidifying and unifying the appearance of the five mounted planks.  Each leg is created using the same detailed process, bringing continuity throughout.

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.
