Henri Texier studied in Paris, at Penninghen school of art and afterwards at the Académie Charpentier, where he completed a Master’s degree inInterior Architecture and Design.
He completed an internship in cabinet-making and design at Atelier 365 in Brussels, where he designed small pieces of furniture and took part in several design competitions, experimenting with different approaches to materials and objects.
His first interior design projects were for detached houses in Puglia, Italy, and the town of Uzès, in the Gard region of France. The raw treatment of materials and attention to details, combined with the demand for quality workmanship and finishes, characterize his approach, while respecting geographic context and the existing architectural elements.
His work is focused on the research for «ideal» proportion, where use and aesthetics must come together in the service of the function. A research for simplicity. Each object and piece of furniture is produced from natural, sustainable materials made in France, with a view to preserving craftmanship knowledge so does a minimal and a controled supply chains.
He presented the first module of the Grand Pas collection at Paris Design Week Factory 2023 at Galerie Joseph, 116 rue de Turennes, where he was singled out as a young talent by AMC and À vivre magazines. He was selected again in 2024 for Milan Design Week with Isola Design Gallery.
In parallel with his activities as an interior architect and designer, he began working in publishing as an illustrator and layout artist with author Sophie Laroque-Texier, designing books such as Haïku 15 Mars - 10 Mai in response to the confinement of the year 2020, Etre poète and paroles fées, aimed at children with a poetic vision of life.
