François Collette is a French designer and artist whose work operates at the intersection of furniture, sculpture, and movement. His practice is particularly recognized for his metal mobiles, which have become central to his artistic language.

Composed of finely balanced metal plates and rods, these mobiles explore the relationships between weight, void, and motion. Each element exists as an autonomous form, yet it is through their interaction and slow, continuous movement that the work fully unfolds. Subtle oscillations introduce a quiet temporality, transforming the viewer’s perception of space.

Alongside his mobiles, François Collette also creates furniture and sculptural objects, produced as unique pieces or in limited editions. He works with raw and noble materials—metal, wood, stone—approached with an almost architectural rigor, where proportion, balance, and precision are essential.

His work belongs to a tradition of author-driven design, closely aligned with modern sculpture, where function dialogues with abstraction.
