Patrick Schroeter is a designer and craftsman who lives and works in France. His work is a fusion of styles and materials, motivated by a love of process and driven by curiosity. His furniture draws on diverse inspirations, from the classical furniture of antiquity to the far flung fantasies of science fiction. His aim has always been to combine the best of both worlds, creating contemporary pieces with a modern aesthetic tempered with a dedication to craft
and
finish
that
is
firmly
rooted
in
traditional
practice.
All of Patrick Schroeter's work is conceived, designed, constructed and finished by himself in his extensive workshops in the peaceful mountain village of Mas-Cabardes. The pieces displayed here are all available for commission and can be tailored to the clients specifications in regards to size, materials and finish. We are always developing new designs and welcome bespoke commissions.
Geodesic Terrariums Our terrariums are hand crafted in our workshop in Mas-Cabardes, France. Each geodesic is made up of almost one hundred triangles, individually welded together and hand finished. The resulting geodesic structures incorporate a water tight bottom section that allows plants to be grown within. Low voltage LED lighting contained within a classical glass shade turns the geodesic into a striking light feature.
The geodesic terrariums can be produced in stainless steel, black steel or brass. Sizes can vary according to clients specifications.
Equus Table Equus tables are handcrafted from hardwood and stainless steel. The three dimensional "horseshoe" curve was made possible by some very specific tooling and formers made specially for these tables. Equus tables are available in both double and triple horseshoe varieties and can be made in a huge variety of woods.
Antenna Table The Antenna range was inspired by the work of Buckminster Fuller, particularly his work with what he termed “tensegrity� structures. The mixture of tension and compression in these structures allows the creation of extremely rigid and stable forms with a comparatively low mass. Our Antenna tables and stools take advantage of this, creating a form that is minimal yet aesthetically striking.
Pompidou Drawers An utterly unique drawer system combining a striking exterior metal frame and solid hardwood drawers. The design offers huge scope for customisation and can be made to measure with a diverse range of metal finishes and patinations.
Sputnik MK1 Stool A space age take on a traditional milking stool. The slender tapered legs are machined from solid stainless steel and connected seamlessly with the wooden seat. Sputnik stools can be made in various heights and in a huge variety of woods and finishes.
Starboard Mirror The perfect mirror for those nautically inclined. It incorporates hardwood with a brushed stainless steel ring. Circular and oval variants are available in any choice of size, materials and finishes. It can be supplied with plain bevelled or convex glass.
Suspension Table The initial idea for the suspension table was to create a design that was as minimalistic as possible, both in appearance and in construction. The result is a design that uses toughened glass as the principle connection for the metal leg sections. Suspension tables can be made in either stainless or patinated mild steel. Circular and console table versions are also available.
