About
Manuel Derler, Artisigner, Ébéniste/Designer & Enseignant en Arts Appliqués basé dans les Vosges à Les Voivres.
Manuel est diplômé de l’école de design Strate, de Sèvres, et du TCA, Tokyo Communication Arts College, en design industriel ainsi que de l’AFPIA Est-Nord de Liffol-Le-Grand en ébénisterie.
Après une expérience professionnelle de huit années dans l’industrie et la production de masse comme designer produit et designer d’intérieur en Chine, Manuel rentre en France où il entame une reconversion professionnelle en ébénisterie pour un retour vers la matière naturelle, le bois, le travail manuel et les métiers d’arts.
Son travail est chargé de « tradinnovation » : respect de la tradition artisanale et chargé d’innovation dans un esprit d’expérimentation formelle, conceptuelle et technique, fusion entre artisanat et design afin de dépasser les codes classiques de l’ébénisterie et du travail du bois.
En s’inspirant des Vosges qui l’entourent, de la nature et de la culture propres à cette région, Manuel leur rend hommage à travers ses pièces, fabrication locale ‘’Made in Vosges’’ depuis la matière première éco-gérée jusqu’aux partenaires locaux de l’artisanat et de l’industrie.
