Description
Maison Intègre is a collective of artisans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso brought together by Ambre Jarno in 2017. The workshop was founded with mission to foster one of West Africa's long craftsmanship lineages, and bridge the craftsmen's work and cultural heritage to the world through ongoing collaborations with international guest artists. With relentless efforts and commitment, Maison Intègre founder Ambre Jarno and the team of Burkinabe artisans carry on the lost wax bronze casting technique that has largely remained unchanged since its inception millennia ago. Resulting from the immersive collaboration of French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance and Maison Intègre's metalsmiths, this series of eight sculptural wall pieces is an homage to the expressive nature of West African ritual masks.

Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance
French designer Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance has built a cohesive body of work across disciplines and materials with a design vocabulary deeply rooted in nature.
Born in the south of France in 1974, he followed the footsteps of his father, with academic training in sculpture from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d’Art, followed by a degree in furniture design from the renowned Les Arts Décoratifs.
Noé approaches design with an instinct and sensibility that gives form to projects ranging from architecture to furniture, interiors to bespoke, and limited edition collections. His sculptural work embodies both inspirations drawn from historical art periods and a timeless simplicity with pure, contemporary lines.
Noé splits his time between designing furniture and launching a project in Lisbon named Made in Situ. Since 2020, Noé has collaborated with the bronze artisans of Maison Intègre in Burkino Faso to create a collection of seven sculptural pieces inspired by vernacular architecture.
