Chris Roussel’s passion and knowledge of wood and noble furniture origins come from his close and tender relationship with his grand father who was an antique dealer and who offered Chris his book of magic spells and, the day of his sixth anniversary, his first cabinet maker’s toolbox.

At the end of his cabinet making school followed through by the Master Cabinet Maker Albert Gourd, Chris specialised himself in marquetry.

Then Chris Roussel start a long tour made of travels, various and unexpected encounters which will feed Chris’s imagination, intellectual and artistic knowledge and which will lead him to New Caledonia where he will set up its painting studio.

Coming back in France, it’s in Marseille that Chris will decide to realize on of his life’s biggest dream, opening up his own cabinet making workshop in order to express its artistic talent and to share his passion of “refinement” to a great number of people towards restoration of antic furniture and objects, relooking of furniture, gilding, sheen, fresco and wood carving classes.

In fact, Chris Roussel is not only a cabinet maker, endowed with an indisputable know-how, whom work’s extremely well-kept, elegant and perfectionist. Its distinctive characteristic is to put a glance of artist, of illuminator, on everything around him and notably on objects that passes in its hands.
