Carpenters Workshop Gallery redefines the intersection of art and design.
WHAT
Art meets design
There is a fascinating place where design, art and craftsmanship meet. Here, form converges with function to unleash the cultural, historical and emotional narratives that exist within objects.
At Carpenters Workshop Gallery, the gallery specialises in functional art and collectible design. It produces and exhibits limited-edition works by internationally acclaimed artists, designers and architects looking to push the boundaries of conventional artistic genres and extend past the confines of traditional gallery and art fair spaces.
Actively engaged in research and conservation, the gallery has cultivated an ecosystem that values individual expertise within collective creative ventures that lie at the intersection between art and design.
WHO
Redefining boundaries
Carpenters Workshop Gallery was founded through on a partnership between childhood friends Julien Lombrail and Loïc Le Gaillard. They first opened the gallery in a former carpenter’s workshop in London’s Chelsea in 2006. Since then, the gallery has expanded to operate four galleries worldwide.
Immersed in the world of art and culture from a young age, Lombrail and Le Gaillard were brought together by a passion for sculptural form and elevated craftsmanship. They shared a vision to unite practitioners from specialised disciplines to produce experimental and innovative contemporary work that redefines the boundaries between art, design, craft and architecture.
Today, Carpenters Workshop Gallery works with over 140 artists and designers operating at the cutting edge of art and design. The gallery exhibits at international fairs such as PAD, Design Miami, TEFAF and India Art Fair. Works by the gallery's artists are held in collections at major institutions including The Centre Pompidou, MoMA, the Cincinnati Art Museum, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Prada Foundation in Milan, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Fenix Museum in Rotterdam.
WHERE
Worldwide galleries
Carpenters Workshop Gallery operates four spaces in major art destinations worldwide - London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles. Each of the gallery’s exhibition spaces defies the traditional notions of the white cube gallery space and instead embodies the cultural language of its specific location, offering a bespoke dialogue with the space and the work on show.
