About Us:

From Functional Art to Collectible Design, today Carpenters Workshop Gallery produces and exhibits functional sculptures by international rising and established artists or designers going outside their traditional territories of expression. Actively involved in the research and production of limited edition works, the gallery’s choices are guided by seeking an emotional, artistic, and historical relevance, and breaking boundaries between art and design.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery relies on the partnership of childhood friends, Julien Lombrail and Loic Le Gaillard, who first opened a space in London’s Chelsea in 2006, in a former carpenter’s workshop. Since then, Carpenters has expanded to operate four galleries worldwide, with one each situated in key locations of London, Paris, New York City, and Los Angeles.

In 2015, the gallery opened The Workshop in Mitry-Mory on the outskirts of Paris, a unique 8,000 square meters space dedicated to artistic research, bringing together the elite of artisans. Within this creative hub, Carpenters artists and leading artisans work side-by-side to design pieces with a hand-finished touch.

In 2022, the gallery opened a gallery in LA in West Hollywood.

Carpenters Workshop Gallery London, situated within Notting Hill’s leading arts hub, Ladbroke Hall, is the latest step in the gallery’s remarkable development. This new space, which opened in April 2023, confirms the leadership and dominant position of Carpenters in today’s international territory of art and design.
