Graduated from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Saint-Etienne, Théophile Besson had a first experience at the Maison Hermès, then a one-year residency at Les Ateliers de Paris, to finally create his studio in 2008. His work gathers art and design, to go beyond the boundaries of a predefined creative world.

Interior designers, Céline Pelcé and Géraud Pellottiero created Atelier PelPell. Techniques and expertise that they encountered at Ecole Boulle are a leitmotiv for the drawings and design of their projects. They also gain their experiences at the workshops of professional craftsmen and builders, with whom they develop the details and finishes in situ. Based on these experiences, they also organize collective and multidisciplinary experimentations, at workshops and cultural events with students and professionals.

Having a double degree in crafts and applied arts at Ecole Boulle in goldsmith and furniture design, she became a designer, who thinks of the materials before thinking of the objects. She pays a particular attention to the experimental research, to the behavior of materials and to the manufacturing process. She likes to play with the tactile and sensitive qualities of the materials that she reinvents with subtlety. She works with ceramists, cabinetmakers, carpenters, luxury brands and large retailers, in the fields of space, product, furniture and lighting design.

Winner of the « Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris » in 2007, Sophie Dalla Rosa is a "knitter". Graduated from les Arts Décoratifs of Strasbourg, she explores the technical possibilities to create sculptural objects with enigmatic shapes. Her works use small objects such as pebbles as a wick and knit around to wrap it. Not only creating sculptural objects, she also creates accessories and jewelries in the same technique. Her creations are called, in French, "petits riens", "parasites" or "curiosités", meaning small creations that in influence the ways of interpreting natural or urban environments.
