Notre histoire | M Nuance

Design and know-how, one passion.

A story of trust

M Nuance is a story of trust. A human project born from the creativity of designers in France and the expertise of artisans in Portugal.

Céline Dupont, founder of M Nuance

Passionate about decoration and noble and natural materials, I created Céline’s Déco 25 years ago, with the desire to help young French designers develop in foreign markets (United States, Japan).This is how I met the LZC workshop and their sublime Rakus and screen-printed slates.I then joined their workshop to develop projects for 15 years.When the designers of Atelier LZC, Vanessa Lambert and Barbara Zorn decided to stop their activity, I took over the marketing of their sublime Morning mirrors in 2015: this is how M Nuance was born.

Vanessa Lambert and Barbara Zorn, the designers

Founders of Atelier LZC, they created their collections and designed for major luxury brands for 15 years, then founded the Morning brand to move upmarket and refocus on exclusively artisanal products. It all begins with a hand-drawn, free sketch, inspired by nature. Imagined like puddles placed on walls, their poetically shaped mirrors take their source from the vagaries of water tables. The irregularity of the bevels enhances the asymmetries and reflects the organic freedom of water.

At the heart of creation, our passionate artisans

All our mirrors, sheath boxes, and accessories are handcrafted near Porto. Behind each piece, there's a gesture, a face, a story.

Luis, Rui and João work with mirrors like their fathers before them, in family workshops passed down from generation to generation.
Fernando hammers each screw by hand, in his small workshop with its intact charm.
And the boxes are made by Luisa and her daughters, who perpetuate a know-how inherited from the time when these sleeves were used to protect bottles of Port.

Their hands bring to life unique, durable and authentic pieces.
