Although the path to naval architecture seemed clear, Antoine F. chose to study design. In 1993, he founded his own design studio, which recently celebrated 30 years of innovative and iconic creations. Among his outstanding works, we find the bamboo bike designed for Hermès and the Class2M sports keelboat.
These three decades of creative and artistic vision are revealed today through a collection of sculptures that enhance the silhouettes evoked. Antoine F. continues to push the boundaries of his art, skilfully blending design and sculpture to create works that captivate and inspire.
In addition to his work in design, Antoine F. is now dedicated to a collection of sculptures whose scope enhances the shapes and silhouettes evoked, testifying to an artistic vision that transcends disciplines and eras. His studio, rooted in a tradition of innovation and creativity, remains a living testament to his commitment to art and design.
Inspired by César Baldaccini, whom he met at the age of 7, Lagasse turned to sculpture while maintaining his love for graffiti, a form of artistic expression that he practiced on streets and subways. A decisive encounter with Yvaral Vasarely opened up new perspectives for him and encouraged him to merge graffiti with sculpture.
In 2009, he created his iconic work entitled “One Dollar”. This piece is the result of his admiration for the United States and his idea of “making art with $1.” Lagasse has produced this work in numerous colors and with various materials.
In 2016, he pushed the boundaries of his creation by creating a monumental bronze sculpture, a “One Dollar” measuring 2 meters high and weighing 500 kg. It was exhibited during the Paris Art Fair. In 2017, Karl Lagasse designed the trophy for the 43rd edition of the Deauville American Film Festival based on the sea and waves.
Dans un intérieur pensé avec exigence, chaque détail compte. Les matières, les volumes, la lumière… mais rien n’égale la présence d’une œuvre d’art.
