Artist-designer trained at the Beaux-Arts and the Ecole Boulle, Camille Ménard believes in the emancipating power of objects.

His piece Lucky Teeth, a zany translation of the French expression, is a hybrid piece of furniture, part side table, part bedside table and part stool. With its two separate legs, it makes a singular nod to the so-called "les dents du bonheur".
