Theophane Ingold (1996) is a French artist working with wood, light, and material experimentation. He trained for four years with the Compagnons du Devoir as a timber framer before completing a Bachelor in applied arts and traditional chairmaking at École Boulle in Paris. He later attended La Cambre in Brussels for postgraduate studies in industrial design, before returning fully to workshop practice.
He spent a year and a half training with Nicolas Souchet, one of France’s leading chairmakers, and has been based in New York since 2024, working at Atelier Jouffre.
Alongside this, he develops an independent research practice around a translucent wood material made from hand-planed shavings ; a hybrid of craft, light, and surface.
