Éric Gizard, once described by renowned French interior designer Andrée Putman as “flamboyant and discreet, refined and reasonable,” is known for creating contemporary furniture that nods to the past.
Gizard studied at École Duperré in Paris from 1982 to ’84, before landing jobs as an archivist for B.E.D. Architects and Michel Boyer Architects. From the mid-1980s to 1990, he was in charge of the design column of CTY magazine. During this period, Gizard also worked as a freelance designer before establishing his own firm, EGA.
As the founder and director of EGA, Gizard spearheaded numerous interior design projects worldwide, including offices in Shanghai, tea rooms in Korea, apartments in Japan, boutiques in Paris and private residences and shops throughout Europe.
In addition to his interiors, Gizard incorporated his characteristic lightness, fluidity and clarity into furniture and lighting designs. Strong contrasts, fusions of materials and colors and the use of chiaroscuro (contrasting light and shadow) feature in many of his sofas, canapes and sectionals. In Gizard’s handcrafted Bronze Sauvage table lamp, an apple-tree branch doubles as a tripod and sculptural art, while his side tables, sideboards, buffets, cabinets and coffee tables embrace the clean lines and bold symmetry of Scandinavian modernism.
Gizard’s work has not gone unnoticed in the world of furniture design. In 2005, in association with Putman, Gizard was named designer of the year by Paris’s Maison and Objet fair. He has also collaborated extensively with brands including Hermès, Steiner, Salviati, Roche Bobois and Hennessy.

From this side table, 560 millions of years are contemplating us. Done in bronze by a French "Living Heritage Company" workshop, each table sculpted represents a Dickinsonia fossil in black patina bronze with an apple tree branch as black bronze leg. This side table is coming from the depth of History This handcrafted low table made in France is patined in gold color. You can customize it by choosing other patina. Each table is signed and numbered. You can buy as individual low table or as a set of three low tables "One day, I found a piece of apple tree branch. Its elegant, simple and natural form gave me the idea to keep it and paint it black to give it a more dramatic side and why not to enter in a curiosity cabinet. For a long time I looked at this tree branch and told myself that someday I will do something with it. My meeting and exchanges with Fanny and Léandre Carbonneaux and their knowledge of the know how made me want to complete my idea. We agreed on the shape and the bronze became the ideal material. That’s how the Bronze Sauvage (Wilde Bronze ») collection was born and how Plumbum decided to edit it. From dreams to reality, a pedestal table, a lamp, two cosy objects, signed and numbered that will live next to you and will illuminate your dreams" Éric Gizard...
