In 2017, Sophie Gailliot, a graduate from the Centre des métiers du cuir de Montréal, and Richard Pontais, a graduate of the École d’ébinisterie de Montréal, founded their workshop and experimentation site, Atelier C.U.B. The duo develops a common language and explores the link between utility and aesthetics, with their favourite materials: leather and wood. Gailliot and Pontais like to play with geometric lines and find the balance of volumes, combining the capacities of current techniques with traditional know-how, in their creations with a refined and dynamic style.
