As a child, Timotheé Musset spent a lot of time in the open air, in the heart of nature. Trained as a carpenter, he became a furniture designer by passion creating Atelier Musset. Always fascinated by timber, Musset chose to work mainly with this often forgotten material. He observes, touches and courts these old woods before sublimating them, while showing their defects as integral parts of their beauty. The recovery of these woods steeped in history is essential for him, woods that have survived the centuries and still have things to tell. Musset gives a new, more poetic dimension to the raw, heavy and massive appearance of this material. His objective is to bring a new look to what seems obsolete, to remember that time does not destroy, it shapes the material down to the smallest details, all to be contemplated. Originally a joke for a friend, this ashtray has already sold several copies.
