Sculpting bespoke Living Objects, an Imprint to Pass On

A French Maison Where Art Becomes Connection

What if a simple gesture — extending a hand, opening a bottle, writing a word — could become eternal?
At Forest Audiard, every creation is born from a hollow, from a touch, from a living imprint. We do not sculpt objects: we sculpt presence, emotion, connection.

Founded in France, in our own EPV-certified artistic foundry in Rochecorbon, Maison Forest Audiard brings to life objets-à-vivre, shaped from the real imprint of your hand — or of two hands, united by love, friendship, or transmission.

"We do not freeze forms. We sculpt what unites them."
Michel Audiard

The Art of Bronze, at the Service of a Gesture

Each piece is created using the ancestral lost-wax technique, then chiseled, polished, and finished by hand by men and women of exceptional expertise. This intentional slowness, this extreme care, is part of the work itself.

Far from objects produced on an assembly line, a Forest Audiard creation requires 10 to 12 weeks. Because it is not just a gift, but a trace to be passed on.

"What we create is not an object. It is a memory. An object to live with for a lifetime, which one day, when the time is right, will be transmitted with emotion to a son, a daughter, a grandson, or a granddaughter."
Sébastien Forest

Offering a Fragment of Emotion, Sealed in Matter

A milestone birthday, a departure, a promotion, a major signature, or the simple desire to say “thank you”… Some occasions call for more than a gift: they deserve a gesture equal to the bond.

From the Stylo-Sculpture to the Ouvre-Vin, from the Paumes to bespoke creations, each Forest Audiard piece is conceived as a tribute. A tribute to a journey, to a precious collaboration, to a rare attention.
They are not decorative objects. They are objects to live with, to transmit, to bring into the everyday as discreet yet powerful markers.

A Forest Audiard creation is what those who already have everything are missing.

"To offer a Forest Audiard piece is to sign an emotion with delicacy. It is to engrave a bond in matter, where words are no longer enough."
— Sébastien Forest

FAQ

Is it necessary to come to your foundry to take an imprint?

No, it is not an obligation. We will gladly welcome you to our foundry in Rochecorbon, in Touraine - France but we can also travel anywhere in France to take the imprint, at your home or in a place that is dear to you (we also have solutions if you are in the USA).
This moment then becomes, in itself, a memory. Each creation is sculpted from the real imprint of its owner’s hand. It is then cast in bronze in our Touraine foundry, and finally chiseled and polished by hand. It is a sculpture to live with, crafted to endure. Each unique piece requires 10 to 12 weeks of work by men and women of exceptional expertise.

What can one offer when looking for more than just a gift?

There are moments when one does not simply want to please. One wants to mark a bond. To say thank you. To say I love you. Or even, to remind oneself what truly matters. For such moments, a Forest Audiard creation offers far more than a gift: it proposes an intimate, sensitive, almost silent experience.
Each piece is sculpted from a real imprint, that of a cherished hand, or your own. It then becomes a materialized gesture, a presence to contemplate. These are not objects to own, but fragments of emotion to live with.
To offer a Forest Audiard creation — or to offer it to oneself — is to choose a marker. To place in matter what cannot be expressed in words. Because sometimes, the most beautiful gift is an imprint. And all that it contains.

Can a Forest Audiard creation be given as an exceptional business gift?

Absolutely. Offering a Forest Audiard piece in a professional setting is much more than a simple present: it is a rare gesture of consideration, an elegant way to honor a precious partnership, to thank a dedicated collaborator, or to mark a collective success.
Each work, shaped from a real, unique, and bespoke hand imprint, embodies connection. It conveys trust, recognition, and shared standards. Whether it is a Stylo-Sculpture offered at the signing of an important contract, or an Ouvre-Vin presented to a long-time client, these creations become sensitive markers, silent symbols of mutual respect.
To offer a Forest Audiard creation is to bring art into the relationship. It is to transmit emotion in a professional context, without ever losing accuracy or depth.
