From the bench

Drawn, built and finished by hand.

Every piece starts as a drawing and a stack of rough lumber at my bench in Parker Street Studios. Templates, jigs, glue-ups, hand planes: the process is part of the work.

The Leaf, a zebrawood and walnut floor lamp, in a sunlit room

01 · Floor lamp

The Leaf

A sculptural floor lamp that reads first as a form and second as a light. A single tapered blade rises from a low cylindrical base, its wavy edge catching light along its length while a warm wash spills onto the wall behind it.The blade is zebrawood, a choice I resisted at first and came around to entirely: the dark streaks trace the curve of the silhouette and give the surface a directional rhythm. No shade, no visible hardware. Just silhouette, surface and glow.

A full-size template, then a lot of routing.

The shape was drawn at full size on MDF, then traced onto the zebrawood. The blank is glued up, routed to the template, and finished with a hand plane to keep the wavy edge soft and continuous, with the light built into the blade.

Fluted nightstand in white oak on the bench

02 · Nightstand

Fluted nightstand

A rounded white oak shell around a fluted drawer front, with a brushed brass pull. The flutes are cut groove by groove, so light rakes across the front and the oak grain shows through every curve.

Floating nightstand

My first piece. A single wrap of solid walnut with angled sides, hung on a hidden French cleat so it floats off the wall. The 2025 version adds a cable pass-through in the top.

Loïc Rochette with The Leaf at Parker Street Studios

Studio

A bench at Parker Street Studios.

I'm Loïc. I started making furniture in 2023, in my garage and backyard; a floating nightstand and a kitchen island were the first pieces. I'm self-taught: I've always liked to build, fix and improve things, and wood is the material I keep coming back to.What I enjoy most is the engineering. An idea like the Leaf starts as a leap, and then the work is figuring out how to actually make it. I like mixing wood with fabric, steel, brass and light, and next I want to bring stone and minerals into the pieces.Today I work from a shared shop at Parker Street Studios, with my own bench, a full range of tools and other makers around me.
