“Inspired by nature and architecture, he combines innovation and vernacular craftsmanship in a poetic and functional language”.
These are the words used by journalist Nicolas Milon to describe the work of French designer Sébastien Coudert-Maugendre, recently awarded the prize for “Elegance and Ultimate Chic” at the AD & Range Rover Awards 2025. What a pleasure to discover his iconic "Loire" chair in this print issue of AD Magazine!
