Forest Audiard has always cherished discretion. Yet over time, friendships have blossomed - collectors, families, artisans, and creators of taste. All are united by one emotion: the sincerity of a gesture. As Michel Audiard once said, “It is not the noise we sculpt, but the silence it holds.” That is how the Friends of Forest Audiard page was born—not to appear, but to express gratitude.
At Forest Audiard, friendships are forged in the truth of a gesture. Here, one encounters exceptional chefs — Guy Savoy (Chef of the World’s Best Restaurant), Pierre Gagnaire (Three-Michelin-Star Chef), Guillaume Gomez (Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Cuisine, former Chef of the Élysée Palace, and Culinary Ambassador to the President of the French Republic), Simone Zanoni (the spirited Chef of Il George – the Italian restaurant of the Hôtel George V), and the late Michel Guérard (renowned French Chef and inventor of haute cuisine minceur). Also among our friends are wine figures such as Fabrice Sommier (Meilleur Ouvrier de France Sommelier 2007 and President of the UDSF) and Gabriele Del Carlo (Head Sommelier of the Royal Monceau), as well as familiar faces like Nikos Aliagas - and even the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Shirin Ebadi. All share one conviction: beauty truly exists only when it is passed on.
At Forest Audiard, creation is a dialogue. Our works are born from an imprint, but also from an encounter. The friends of the Maison remind us that each Wine Opener, each Étreinte, each Paume is a testament of trust. As Sébastien Forest says: “We sculpt emotion but our friends give it a face.”
To be a Friend of the Maison is not to belong to an exclusive circle - it is to share a philosophy. It is to believe that beauty is something to be lived, that emotion is something to be passed on, that a gesture endures. Every collector, every admirer, every family who chooses a Forest Audiard creation naturally becomes a friend of the Maison. And you… would you like to be one of them?
We love to begin with a conversation. You can contact us by phone (+33 2 44 84 40 40), via WhatsApp, or through our website. A member of the Maison will get in touch to understand the occasion, the person, and the intention. From there, we draw a simple, refined path together: choice of piece (Ouvre-Vin, Étreinte, Stylo-Sculpture…), timeline, and imprint process. If you wish, we can meet in Touraine, at the heart of our EPV-certified foundry, or come to you anywhere in France and most neighbouring countries. For international clients, we offer dedicated solutions wherever you may be. At Forest Audiard, every creation begins with a sincere exchange: you entrustus with a story — we give it form. The first gesture is often the most beautiful one: to tell us whom you wish to honour, and why.
Allow ten to twelve weeksfrom validation of the imprint. This time is not a delay but a maturation.Bronze demands patience — moulding, casting, chiselling, polishing, patina, andfinal checks. Each step has its rhythm, its silence, its precision.
We keep you informed at key milestones (imprint received, casting scheduled, finishing phase) so you can follow the birth of your piece. If the occasion is dated (wedding, birthday), we anticipate with intention: Intention Box, handwritten letter, elegant presentation — so that the moment of offering arrives perfectly on time.
Yes. Because life sometimes catches us by surprise, we have imagined elegant Intention Boxes and fine correspondence cards that announce the creation to come. You thus offer your gift in two chapters: the immediate grace of a refined present (box,personalised message, visuals of the future work), followed a few days later by the joy of the imprint appointment.
This wait is no longer a delay — it is a promise unfolding. We can personalisethe message, include a handwritten note, or schedule a priority imprint session according to your context. Offering Forest Audiard at the last minute transforms urgency into a double emotion.
Because our creations are not meant to remain still.
An Ouvre-Vin that opens a bottle and invites conversation; an Étreinte that watches over a living room; a Stylo-Sculpture that writes what truly matters —our pieces are companions of life’s moments. They exist through use, gather memories, learn the skin and light of each place. The imprint makes them singular; the everyday makes them alive.
We refuse decorative accessories without a soul: each piece is a sculpture of use — a gesture restored to its poetic dignity, a beauty reawakened again and again.
Many gifts are beautiful; few are intimate. The difference lies in a single word: the imprint. The work is not merely chosen - it is shaped for someone, from a unique trace. It is nota sign of status, but of connection. It honours a passion (wine, writing), celebrates a bond, reveals a gesture. It never exhausts its meaning through use— it becomes memory. Where other houses offer icons, we entrust the recipient with a fragment of themselves, sculpted in bronze, ready to be passed on. Marked with the strongest and most moving of all imprints: their own.
