Melanie Courbet

Melanie Courbet is the founder of Les Ateliers Courbet, a design gallery in New York known for its focus on craftsmanship, design legacies, and contemporary artisans.

The gallery showcases time-honored techniques in its exhibitions and features a permanent display of both contemporary and archival design pieces.

Established in 2013, Les Ateliers Courbet aims to celebrate master-craftsmen's ethos and works of art that represent artisanal dexterity and cultural heritage.

Melanie Courbet's extensive travels and collaborations have led to a collection of over 50 traditional crafts from artisans worldwide, including marquetry, woodcraft, ceramic and glasswork, weaving, and metalsmithing.

The gallery supports its ateliers through Editions Courbet, a series of edition pieces designed by guest artists and crafted by master-craftsmen, with each collection paying homage to the artisans' culture of excellence and humility.
