Eric Schmitt has one goal: he wants to achieve timelessness and be able to create a harmonic connect with the chosen materials.
Eric Schmitt was born in Toulouse in 1955. Initially he worked as a musician.
In the mid 80ies, he discovered his

passion for furniture and moved to the outskirts of Paris, retaining his affection for tones, harmonies and melodies.
Eric Schmitt's material of choice is metal. He produces lamps and other interior furnishing accessories, focusing on curved lines, which seem light despite the heavy material used.

For his hand crafted designs in small editions the French designer prefers using bronze to create objects that are combined with coloured glass or porcelain for example.

Schmitt is a man for understated lushness and slightly playful ornaments. The welded metal's swinging lines bring to mind the style of painting of Juan Miró. As if the designer was in search of times gone by, his furnishings and objects point to the past.

The metal desks designed by Eric Schmitt seem weightless. All design objects have a nearly mythical aura. They are full of harmonies and mute at the same time.

The furniture design of Eric Schmitt is “silencieux”, somehow aristocratically silent. But on the inside, in the material there oscillates a melody.
