The prize 

Initiated in 2002 by the Institut pour les Savoir-Faire Français, the “Prix Avenir Métiers d’Art” is a unique way of revealing and celebrating young talent in the arts and crafts. It honors excellence in traditional techniques, ingenuity in the exploitation of materials, and creative audacity. 

Fondation Rémy Cointreau is proud to support this award for several years, encouraging training, development, and innovation by drawing inspiration from traditional know-how to shape the future. 

This year’s ceremony honored 10 national laureates.  Caroline MARTIN-RILHAC, a jury member at level 4, had the honour of presenting the awards to three promising young craftsmen: Lancelot Brondy and Dorian Kérivel, talented cabinetmakers, and Gabriel de Sevin-Bandeville, a passionate bookbinder. 

“As a jury member for several years, I can personally attest to the exceptional creativity and maturity you demonstrate. You are a source of inspiration, able to bring a contemporary perspective to traditional craftsmanship. Congratulations to the entire Institute team for celebrating these young talents through this award, and for your contribution to the constant evolution and renewal of this ecosystem, thus preserving French excellence.” – Caroline MARTIN-RILHAC
