Fly Roof Recamier by Lionel Jadot
A chaise made of memory. Rusted steel sheets, once part of a farm roof, now hold the imprint of an antique recamier. The body reclines on past lives. Light rests on surface and shadow. Structure is fragile but deliberate. The past does not sleep. It floats.

THE ARTIST
Lionel Jadot is not just a designer. He’s a disruptor, a builder of new worlds from the ruins of the old. For over three decades, he has collected the fragments, discarded objects, forgotten materials, gifted remnants of other lives, and used them to craft a practice that defies categories. Architect, artist, maker, provocateur. His work rejects mass production, marketing logic, and aesthetic obedience. Born into a lineage of craftsmanship but guided by instinct, Jadot doesn’t follow rules, because rules are part of the problem. His creations are physical manifestos. Confrontations. Collages of memory, waste, and raw material honesty. In the age of the Anthropocene, where humans have become the planet’s dominant force, Jadot’s work is a rebellion. Against overconsumption. Against forgetfulness. Against the myth that new is better. He doesn’t design for trends. He designs to wake people up. No templates. No apologies. Just freedom, friction, and fierce imagination.
