Boutures d'objets is an object design and publishing studio, founded in 2019 in Orléans by Laurence Saugé, specializing in ecodesign and the manufacture of innovative products with recycled or biosourced materials.
We design objects, lights, decorations and furniture from recycled materials: shells, plastics, paper, coffee, badminton shuttlecocks...
Our Boutures d'objets collection, co-created with designers, is conceived as a nursery of creations, to experiment and highlight these emerging materials in singular, timeless forms.
We develop customized projects for architects, luxury homes, small and large companies.
To take things a step further, since 2022 we've been creating bio-composite materials from mycelium (myco-materials) in our workshop, and imagining uses for this material: floral supports, lighting, etc.
MANIFESTO
Growing new circular and bio-inspired aesthetics for singular, desirable and virtuous creations.
By exploring the shaping of circular and bio-inspired materials, by questioning the uses of objects, we participate in the creation of new imaginations, new aesthetics , towards conscious and reasoned consumption.
Making less but better, designing the future of craftsmanship and industry... Boutures d'objets is part of the slow design movement and invites us to imagine a new approach to luxury and the circular economy: rublished in small series, using skills that are still emerging, our objects pave the way for more conscious production that respects the planet.
Whether you're an aesthete, curious or aware of the impact of the production of objects, by working with us you become part of a circular design approach and actively support the research and development of innovative materials and know-how, and therefore of companies of all sizes, mainly in France.
THE FOUNDER
Laurence Saugé has imagined a company in her image, a project where art, design, ecology, technology and innovation meet.
After 12 years in packaging development, mainly in the perfume sector, this idea germinated at the end of 2017 and came to fruition in 2019 with the creation of Boutures d'objets. A name that pays tribute to the magic of nature, but also evokes sharing and the vision of a garden to be created.
Constantly on the lookout for innovations in materials, technology and trends, Laurence builds a network of optimistic, committed personalities - designers, manufacturers, etc. - to bring daring projects to life and manufacture original objects.
Trained as an engineer, she also designs some of the objects in the collection, and took over the artistic direction of the brand after being assisted at launch by Valérie Windeck.

THE DESIGNERS OF THE COLLECTION
To create beautiful objects from sourced and selected materials, we have surrounded ourselves with designers with unique, sensitive and committed personalities.
OUR COMMITMENTS
We integrate an eco-design approach to limit the environmental impact of our products and customized projects, from their creation to their end-of-life.
Choice of materials: Preserving natural resources while recycling waste is our main motivation. The materials we select valorize industrial waste, agricultural by-products, used packaging...
However, we remain cautious about the term "eco-responsible", as the use made of the material must be relevant.
Local manufacturing: The selected materials come from France, mainly, and Europe. The objects are made in France, the choice being guided by the know-how of the manufacturers, their geographical proximity, their environmental and social commitment.
Durable creations: This means designing products that are resistant, repairable and energy efficient. It also involves sustainable aesthetics, by offering timeless creations.
Recyclable objects: Finally, so that our objects can be recycled again, we design them in such a way that we can easily separate the different materials that compose them - by prohibiting, for example, the assembly by gluing different materials.
