Portrait of François Thériault

François Thériault

Furniture design

I’ve always been passionate about furniture design. My career started in 1982 in the industrial sector. Today I dedicate myself to the design and fabrication of small pieces of furniture. I wish to give a new life to wood scraps and old metals. I am fascinated by wood and beautiful materials in general.

Throughout the years, I’ve also developed a great interest for popular art. Self-taught in this discipline, I define myself ad an “ingenious handyman”. I create playful pieces from everyday objects and recycled materials. I feel like an eccentric dreamer, a creator of phantasmagorical art.

I am happy to contribute to the artistic reputation of our region. I feel like I am helping our artistic community to walk in the same direction and that I am contributing to the success of Le Vivoir’s project.
