CRAFT
CRAFT
Chasing
Metal chasing reveals a piece’s volumes through a sequence of precise gestures. Beneath the tool, the surface is recessed, raised or animated with a motif. We admire the patience this craft requires, as the material retains something of the rhythm of the artisan’s hand.
At April H., we believe in the beauty of patient craftsmanship, in materials that carry a story, and in the encounters that bring a work of art into being. Each creation is, above all, a human adventure shaped by the meeting of perspectives, sensibilities and skills.
EXCEPTIONAL artisans
Craftsperson to be revealed soon
We are gradually introducing the people who contribute to our creations. Their work and stories will be shared as encounters and collaborations unfold.
April H. Values
At April H., four values guide us: authenticity, creativity, humanity and sharing. They come to life through encounters with artisans, dialogue between crafts and the attention given to every gesture.
Authenticity
We care about origins, the integrity of materials and the sincerity of each gesture. Every creation bears traces of its own story, of the artisans who contributed to it, and of the time devoted to making it.
Creativity
We value encounters between worlds that may initially seem far apart. Watchmaking enters into dialogue with sculpture, colour, glass, marquetry and jewellery. These exchanges give rise to forms we could never have imagined alone.
Sharing
Creation is a dialogue—with craftspeople, artists, collectors and everyone who takes the time to explore our approach. We love seeing our works become occasions for encounters, exchanges and the passing on of knowledge.
Humanity
Behind every work are hands, perspectives, personal journeys, and sometimes years of learning. We want to give these human stories the place they deserve, because they matter to us as much as the object they help bring into being.
WORKS of art
Handcrafted in France
In September, Longévité combines the transparency of red glass with the presence of a gilded sculpture. The work reflects our love of restoration and the meeting of artistic crafts. Every intervention requires a discerning eye and the time needed to do things properly.

“Ruby, ardent as a stolen kiss beneath a fiery sky, sets hearts alight with an enduring passion.”
