Our Story

Four decades.
One family.

From the south of France to the California coast — a lifelong love of form, light and the hand-finished object.

The Beginning

Sculpture, light,
and the streets of Cannes.

Frédéric Duclos grew up in the south of France, where sculpture, light, and the streets of Cannes shaped a lifelong love of form. After studying in Paris, he moved to California and met Karen.

Together, they built an electroforming studio, establishing the Frédéric Duclos® — Silver Extraordinaire® Collection.

Today, the collection is hand-finished in a family-owned studio in Italy, carrying the same soft geometry and quiet confidence that defined the brand from the very beginning.

The Studio

“My passion for creating remains as strong as the day I began.”— Frédéric Duclos
  • France

    Form & light

    A childhood on the Riviera, and studies in Paris.

  • California

    The Design Studio

    Air and light from the Pacific inspire me to design soft geometric pieces that balance strength and grace. My goal has always been to create designs that feel timeless, contemporary, and deeply personal pieces that become part of a woman’s story and part of the fabric of her life.
