About the Porsche 356 : The Origin of the Myth
As Porsche's first production car, the 356 marked the beginning of a legendary line. Designed in 1948 by Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferry, it immediately became a benchmark among sports cars.
Featuring a flat-4 engine with a rear overhang, a lightweight chassis and optimised aerodynamics, the Porsche 356 shone in legendary competitions such as Le Mans, the Carrera Panamericana and the Mille Miglia, confirming its status as an exceptional sports car. Its charisma went also beyond motor sport. It seduced such iconic figures as James Dean, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, while leaving its mark on the cinema, notably in ‘Top Gun’ (1986).
Available in several versions - 356 Pre-A, 356 A, 356 B, 356 C - and in different variants - Coupé, Cabriolet, Speedster, Super 90, Carrera 2, Hardtop - it embodies the evolution of design and performance in line with Porsche's principles of excellence.

About the artist.
From ancestral know-how to an elite journey
Born in 1975 and descended from a line of bodywork craftsmen, the creator of this automotive sculpture in solid mahogany has always worked the material with passion, sculpting wood with the same precision as his ancestors worked metal.
Graduated from the École Boulle, his talent was recognised very early on, and in 1995 he was awarded the Oscar for Contemporary Creation for his excellence in exceptional craftsmanship.
His love of legendary automobiles, coupled with his family's expertise, naturally led him to revisit some of the most iconic models in automotive history: the Lamborghini Miura, the Ferrari F40, the Porsche 356, the MG A Type, the Bugatti Atlantic, the Aston Martin DB5, the Citroën DS 19 ...
The result is the "Epures" collection, in which each creation becomes a tribute to the elegance and performance of these classic cars. Each handcrafted sculpture is signed by the artist on a plate discreetly integrated beneath the work and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing its origin and value over time.

Behind the scenes.
Discover step-by-step the handcrafting process before the creation of these french automotive masterpieces

Step 1
It all begins with a quest for the finest mahogany, a tree with pure veins and no imperfections. Finding such a treasure in France is a challenge, but it's an essential step : each sculpture comes to life in the meticulous selection of the material that will be worthy of giving it its noble soul.

Step 2
Once the perfect mahogany has been found, it is sliced into thick slabs, then into cubes, each corresponding to the weight of the future "Epure". Each piece is scrutinised from every angle, and only the finest are kept. Then begins the immutable process of natural drying, which lasts an entire year. Before being carved, the wood needs time to breathe in order to reveal all its nobility.

Step 3
Meanwhile, the craftsman sketch out the "Epures" with the help of his cousin, expert in digital modelling. Together, they explore the shapes, test the reflections, adjust the lines of light. The slightest curve, the tiniest incline has an influence on the final elegance of the sculpture. This preparatory work, which takes several weeks, is a quest for balance and perfection. When harmony is finally achieved, machining can begin on wood that has matured over time, gradually revealing the contours of the automotive objet d'art.

Step 4
Then comes the most demanding phase. It is in the hands of the craftsman that the automotive sculpture takes on its full splendour. Every detail is sanded by hand with the utmost precision, while any corners that cannot be machined are chiselled out using the ancestral techniques of master sculptors. With each pass, the grain is refined, until the surface reveals the silky smoothness and incomparable warmth of mahogany. It is in these gestures, repeated with rigour and passion, that the magic of french craftsmanship lies.

Step 5
Finally comes the finishing touch: the patina. Depending on the customer's wishes, the sculpture is given a subtle matt varnish or a high-gloss finish. To achieve that sought-after mirror effect, around ten coats of varnish are applied, each delicately sanded with ultra-fine paper. Each pass sublimates the automobile piece a little more, revealing its elegant curves until it becomes an exceptional object, a timeless work celebrating both the art of the automotive and the excellence of French craftsmanship.
