Audoux & Minet

Audoux & Minet are renowned for their distinctive contributions to French mid-century design. Active in the 1940s and 1950s, the duo became renowned for their use of humble, natural materials such as rope and raw wood to create tactile yet refined furniture. Their work reflects a commitment to simplicity and craftsmanship, as well as a lifestyle inspired by the French Riviera. Today, their timeless pieces are appreciated around the globe, including by collectors and designers in Australia.

A legacy of coastal modernism

Hailing from the southern French town of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Audoux & Minet developed a visual language inspired by coastal life. Breaking away from ornate tradition, their furniture embraced honesty in materials and clean, modern lines. Often crafted for seaside homes and boutique resorts, these pieces speak to a relaxed yet elegant sensibility that continues to resonate with lovers of vintage design.

Handcrafted beauty and natural materials

Rope, beech and oak formed the core of Audoux & Minet’s designs, which showcased their texture and strength. The hand-woven technique evident in their chairs, stools and lighting pays homage to the artisanal spirit of post-war design. Their pieces offer warmth, originality, and understated sophistication, making them ideal for Australian interiors, especially those that blend rustic, coastal, or Mediterranean influences.
