Welcome to the univers Liguori
Atelier François Liguori is unlike any of the other companies based in Sète, on the edge of « the Etang de Thau ». With its air of a stranded ship, helmed by a captain with the build of a mover and the face of a colorful corsair, it perfectly symbolizes this special spirit that makes the originality of the singular island. Wen you are born in Sète, we can’t help letting our imagination reinvent everything around us, This is how. The permanent smell of sea spray and the perpetual view of the sea undoubtedly plays an important role in this need, moreover. Some paint, others write. With the talent that we know. Welcome to the univers Liguori
is favorite subject ? Iron, from which it gives rise to decorative objects that have become, today, a signature. This is also his first creation, an iron seat, the famous «Zest» armchair made for fun which, by its worldwide success never denied to this day, will put his foot in the stirrup. After earning a diploma as an aircraft cell mechanic, he dreamed of becoming an apprentice cosmonaut. It was then that François Liguori created his own workshop in 1988 in which, since then, he has done what he pleases...
With his Desdalles collection, the visual artist himself creates and manufactures metal paintings for the interior decoration of your home. Playful and unique, this concept of creating personalized paintings gives you access to a large choice of contemporary patterns, available in many colors by assembling them. Whether interior designers or individuals wishing to think outside the box, everyone is won over by the designer’s talent. They can acquire a work of art at an affordable price and in addition be a co-author. His choice for metal, François Liguori explains it by his perfect mastery of the technique which allows him to know very quickly what is easily achievable. He also explains it by its low cost, thus putting his creations within the reach of as many people as possible. Under François Liguori’s famous bandana, ideas are constantly flowing. With always new strong themes, François greedily throws away all his creativity and continues to offer you beautiful objects with an immediately identifiable signature. This is the real talent.
Desdalles
The «desdalles» concept is a collection of mural tile, created and
manufactured by hand. He received the second prize for innovation
2022 awarded by La Chambre des Métiers d’Arts Occitanie/PyrénéesMéditérannée Hérault ( Artinovart’s
).
François cuts and bends the metal. Then, he undertake carries out an
engraving work on this support, by oxidation playing on ,the accidents
resulting from his manufacturing process or by stamping the material...
A multitude of patterns and colors are available. This alchemy reveals
various patterns by highlighting the variations of colors and grains
produced by these chemical reactions. The finish is always «high-gloss
enamel» resistant with a pleasant and sensual touch.
This concept is intended to decorate interiors and exteriors.
These paintings add color and a graphic, rhythm and poetry touch:
To create a kitchen or bathroom splashback.
To create a headboard in a bedroom.
To create a decorative painting to install anywhere in the house inside
and outside: patio, swimming pool, pool house, garden...
To adorn a partition, make a open trellised panel or a bar skirt...
On our table leg as a coffee table, side table or bedside table... (this list
is not exhaustive)
For interior designers:
This method contributing to the architectonics of the habitat similar to the use of earthenware.
Realization of the Victor Hugo car park
Creation of 4 slab frescoes for the town hall of Sète in an underground
car park: Victor Hugo.
2 columns will be installed on the forecourt next fall.
Carte blanche for this project:
« I have been engaged in a mystical quest for many years. Symbolism
is omnipresent in my work. I progress by intuition... symbols are the
expression of truth... This project gave me the opportunity to reveal the
object of my deep questions.
Deep but not secret! It is precisely this spiritual sharing that I expect and
that motivated my approach. In the past artists created stained glass
windows for cathedrals. Today we accept that messages are inscribed
in an “urban cave”. In this temple no sermon. Only feelings echo your
questions. »
