Born in the South of France in 1991, Julien Bonzom studied the history of art and the traditional furniture making at the Institute Europeen de Formation des Compagnons du Tour de France (IEF CTF) – a unique school led by the best French craftsmen. Before his 16th birthday he participated in several prestigious competitions and won the Meilleur Apprenti de France (MAF; Best Apprentice in France). This gave Julien the opportunity to work with some of the best leading brands since a young age. He perfected his knowledge in manufacturing and discovered his passion for design. He established his own studio in 2014.

Julien is active in the fields of design, horology, museum-quality furniture, and is a creator of unique and limited-edition design art pieces. His designs challenge the contemporary codes of objects by creating harmonies that appeal to the senses, surpassing the concept of shape.

Driven by traditional craftmanship, Japanese culture, and biomimicry forms and function, his clientele today is international: from world renown Swiss watch brands to furniture manufacturers, editors and private clients. His works are regularly featured during exhibitions and charity events in France and abroad, have been awarded or belong to permanent collections. 

He has been a member of the Design Society and the Society of British Interior Designers since 2019.

Currently shortlisted for The International Design and Architecture Awards
