As the festive season approaches, certain Maisons have mastered the art of giving. At Baccarat, light is sculpted into crystal. At Christofle, silver follows the movement of a gesture. At Cartier, gold becomes a promise. At Daum, glass melts and transforms into poetry. Each celebrates, in its own way, the same miracle — the union of time and hand. Their creations transcend generations because they carry intention, emotion, and humanity. To give at Christmas is to offer more than an object — it is to offer a memory.

Bronze is unlike any other material: it is not just seen — it is felt. It unites fire, hand, and patience. It preserves the warmth of the one who shaped it and the memory of the one it represents. In our art foundry in Touraine, labeled EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant), fire becomes sculptor and wax becomes memory. Each artwork requires 10 to 12 weeks of creation — a rhythm faithful to matter, silence, and gesture. “Bronze retains the warmth of the hand that shaped it.” — Michel Audiard.

Because it begins with a real imprint. Each Ouvre-Vin, each Étreinte, each Palm captures a gesture, a trace, a presence. Nothing is generic; everything is personal. Offering a Forest Audiard creation is to offer a fragment of life sculpted in bronze. It is not an object to be contemplated, but an object to be lived — an artwork made to accompany moments of joy before becoming a legacy.

Because a gift only has meaning if it connects. Each Forest Audiard piece is crafted in France, in the purest tradition of French art de vivre. It is presented in a custom-made oak case, accompanied by the Book of Creation tracing its story. A rare and intimate present — a fragment of oneself passed to those we love.

We love to begin with a conversation. Contact us by phone (+33 2 44 84 40 40), via WhatsApp (+33 7 68 21 54 37), or write to us on our website. A member of the Maison will reach out to understand the occasion, the person, and the intention. Together, we design a simple and refined path: choice of the artwork (Ouvre-Vin, Étreinte, Stylo-Sculpture…), schedule, and imprint logistics. If you wish, we can organize a meeting at our foundry in Touraine, or come to you anywhere in France and in most neighboring countries. For international collectors, we also have remote solutions.
Yes. Life sometimes takes us by surprise — this is why we’ve designed elegant boxes and cards announcing the artwork to come. You give twice: first the immediate emotion of a refined present, then the joy of a later imprint appointment. The wait is no longer a delay — it’s a growing promise. We can personalize the correspondence or prioritize the imprint session according to your context. Offering Forest Audiard at the last minute means turning urgency into a double emotion.
Each creation requires 10 to 12 weeks from imprint validation. This time is not waiting — it is maturation. Bronze demands a patient choreography: molding, casting, chiseling, polishing, patina, and final inspection. Each stage has its rhythm, its silence, its precision. We inform you of each milestone (imprint received, casting scheduled, finishing complete) so that you can follow the birth of your artwork.
Because our artworks are not made to remain still. An Ouvre-Vin that opens a bottle, an Étreinte that watches over a living room, a Sculpted Pen that traces what matters — our creations are companions of moments. They exist through use, gather memories, and learn the light of their surroundings. Each is a poetic gesture revived again and again.
Many gifts are beautiful; few are intimate. The difference lies in one word: the imprint. Each artwork is not just chosen, it is shaped for someone, from a unique trace. It is not a sign of status but a sign of connection. It celebrates passion, union, and gesture. Where others offer icons, Forest Audiard offers a fragment of oneself — cast in bronze, ready to be lived and passed on.
