Lucas Franck
Lucas Frank is a renowned French designer who has carved out a unique place for himself in the world of modern product design. With a background rooted in both traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation, he has become a sought-after name in the industry. His collaborations with prestigious brands such as Revol and others have led to the creation of iconic pieces that harmoniously blend form and function. One of his most famous works is the Pekoë teapot, a masterpiece that showcases his ability to transform everyday objects into works of art.
At ECAL, the renowned art school in Lausanne where he was trained, Lucas Frank absorbed the principles of a rigorous creative grammar, inherited from Swiss-German philosophy, which advocates a very concrete design approach focused on function.
After earning his Master's in Product Design, Lucas Frank began his professional journey at Seb in Lyon, where he honed his skills and developed a deep understanding of consumer needs. His experience at Seb paved the way for his next adventure at the Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance studio, a hub of avant-garde design. It was here that Frank’s talent truly began to flourish as he worked on a variety of projects that pushed the boundaries of traditional design.
Contrary to the current trend that praises the imperfect poetry of cracked ceramics, the young designer Lucas Frank's first desire was to pay tribute to the high technicality of the material as shaped by the precision of industry.
What sets Lucas Frank apart from other designers is his philosophy of elevating everyday objects to the level of extraordinary pieces. Whether it's a teapot and cup set, a tea service, or a ceramic teapot set, Frank approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for the materials he uses. His creations are characterized by a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication, making them timeless pieces that are both functional and aesthetic. In a world where design often aims to make a statement, Lucas Frank chooses to focus on creating pieces that enhance the user's experience. His work reminds us that even the simplest objects can be imbued with meaning and beauty, transforming them into precious items that withstand the test of time.
From the art of traditional ceremony to the invention of a new culinary experience, blending poetry with technical mastery, the Pekoë teapot set—fruit of the collaboration between Revol and an emerging talent in French design—marks the meeting of two creative universes that are as rich as they are complementary.
