Maxime Louis Courcier

Maxime Louis-Courcier is a Paris-based designer working on objects, scenography and packaging. His pieces start from a material constraint — industrial glass plates, recycled plastics, glazed earthenware, algae — and end as limited editions or one-offs: the Assemblies vases join twelve industrial glass plates into a volume close to a metre, while the In Alto wall vase is issued in white earthenware in a run of 100.

Commissions and temporary spaces sit alongside. For Maison Martell he designed the bottle and case of L’Or de Jean Martell – Réserve du Château Chanteloup, released in 1,000 numbered editions, and in 2022 he built the Realme pop-up store in Paris, a travelling scenography that reused 1,251 kg of plastic waste, paper and cardboard. Bio Fabrique, made with Samuel Tomatis for the Centre Pompidou-Metz, turned a museum space into a workshop on the biodegradability of seaweed.
