At Baccarat, crystal has crossed centuries without losing its clarity. At Cartier, gold preserves the promise of gesture. At Lalique, light becomes matter and memory. These Maisons do not simply offer objects — they offer time. Their secret? Shaping creations that endure, born from fire and hand, where every trace tells a story of humanity. To offer something lasting is already to speak of eternity.
Because it does not fade: it lives, breathes, and develops a patina. Bronze retains the warmth of the gesture that shaped it, the mark of the hand, the trace of time. In the EPV-certified Forest Audiard foundry in Touraine, fire becomes sculptor and wax becomes memory. Each piece requires 10 to 12 weeks to create — the right time, that of patient craftsmanship and assumed perfection. Bronze is the material of remembrance and connection: a noble metal shaped by emotion.
Because a bronze artwork is not consumed — it is lived. It passes through the years as a silent witness, a fragment of beauty accompanying life’s moments. To offer a sculpture is to say to someone: “I want this gesture, this presence, to outlive you and me.” It is a way of inscribing emotion into matter, transforming feeling into a tangible trace. Each Forest Audiard creation, sculpted from real hand imprints, carries the memory of a hand, a moment, an emotion. They do not tell the past; they prolong it.
Because it binds generations. One day, the hand that inspired the piece will fade, but its trace will remain — cast in bronze. Every Forest Audiard creation is a living artwork before being one to be passed on. It accompanies a story, bears a name, and one day will change hands without losing its soul. Perhaps that is what eternity means: a gesture that continues to live, an emotion that never dies.
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 through 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 thoughtful path: choice of artwork (Ouvre-Vin, Étreinte, Sculpted Pen…), schedule, and imprint process. If you wish, we can welcome you to our foundry in Touraine or come to you anywhere in France and most neighboring countries. For international clients, we also have dedicated solutions. Every project begins with a sincere exchange: you entrust us with a story, we give it form. The first gesture is often the most beautiful — saying who you wish to honor, and why.
Yes. Life sometimes takes us by surprise — that’s why we’ve imagined elegant boxes and cards announcing the artwork to come. You give twice: first the immediate emotion of a refined present (box, personalized message, visuals of the future piece), then, a few days later, the joy of an imprint session. The wait is no longer a delay — it is a promise that grows. We can personalize the correspondence or arrange a priority imprint session depending on your needs. Offering Forest Audiard at the last minute means turning urgency into double emotion.
Each creation requires 10 to 12 weeks from imprint validation. This time is not waiting — it is maturation. Bronze follows a patient choreography: molding, casting, chiseling, polishing, patina, inspection. Each step has its rhythm, its silence, its precision. We keep you informed at every major stage (imprint received, casting scheduled, finishing complete) so you can follow the birth of your artwork. If the occasion has a fixed date (wedding, anniversary), we adjust the schedule in advance to make the presentation as moving as the artwork itself.
Because our creations are not meant to remain static. A Wine Opener that opens a bottle; an Étreinte that watches over a room; a Sculpted Pen that writes what matters — our pieces are companions of life’s moments. They exist through use, become infused with memories, and learn the light of their surroundings. The imprint makes them unique; daily life makes them alive. We reject soulless decor: each piece is a sculpture of use — a gesture restored to its poetic dignity, a beauty that reawakens again and again.
Many gifts are beautiful; few are intimate. The difference lies in one word: the imprint. The artwork is not simply chosen — it is shaped for someone, from a unique trace. It is not a sign of status, but a sign of connection. It acknowledges a passion (wine, writing), celebrates a union, highlights a gesture. It does not fade with use — it becomes memory. Where others offer icons, Forest Audiard offers a fragment of oneself, cast in bronze, ready to be transmitted — marked by the most powerful and moving of imprints: one’s own.
