Petit Souvenir is a design chair where photography meets metal. Designed by Roméo Rouvière and Aristide Hiegel, the project combines UV printing on chromed steel with precision laser welding and a custom magnetic assembly system developed by O-FLEX³. This project illustrates how advanced metal fabrication and technical engineering can transform a design concept into a precise and durable object.

A practical guide built from real manufacturing experience, highlighting the key rules that help designers avoid common pitfalls and turn ideas into well-produced objects.

Two pieces of metal furniture can look identical and perform very differently.

Behind the scenes, the welding process plays a decisive role in aesthetics, durability and real production costs.

This article takes a clear, nuanced look at MIG-MAG and laser welding, and explains why high-end furniture is increasingly welded differently.

Learn how to choose the right metal for furniture based on strength, durability, outdoor use, and real production costs.

Good design is not the problem.

Most furniture projects fail in the space between the idea and production. This article explains why — and how industrial reality, not creativity, is what really breaks products.
