Some Maisons have made time their greatest ally. At Chanel, perfume becomes memory. At Jaeger-LeCoultre, a watch becomes heritage. At Chaumet, each jewel is a promise of connection. At Louis Vuitton, the trunk keeps the trace of past journeys. Each expresses in its own way the same conviction: to give is to transmit. Because a true gift is not an object — it is a message, an imprint of oneself left in another’s hands.
A gift becomes unforgettable when it carries a gesture. At Forest Audiard, each artwork is shaped from a real hand imprint — a tangible link between two lives. Sculpted in bronze in our art foundry in Touraine, labeled EPV, these creations become silent witnesses to a shared story. “To transmit is to offer what one no longer possesses.” — From the Book of the Maison. An Ouvre-Vin given to a father, an Étreinte to a couple, or a Palm to a child becomes a fragment of life entrusted to time.
Because it transcends time. Each piece requires 10 to 12 weeks of creation — a full cycle where wax, fire, metal, and hand follow one another with patience and precision. Everything is crafted in France, in our EPV foundry in Rochecorbon, using the ancestral lost-wax casting technique. These works are not possessions; they are companions. They are lived, admired, and passed on — an heirloom entrusted to those we love.
Because it gives meaning to the gesture. To transmit is to say, “You are part of my story.” A Forest Audiard gift is never ephemeral — it is a trace, an emotion, a connection. A hand entrusted to bronze so it may never disappear completely. Over the years, these artworks become touchstones of memory — heritage one can both see and feel.
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. From there, we design a simple and refined path: choice of the artwork (Ouvre-Vin, Étreinte, Sculpted Pen…), 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.
