Following a project in New York lasting several months, he was taken on by Light brand where he worked closely with established and demanding designers such as Maarten van Severen and Hans de Pelsmacker.

In 2003, he set up his own industrial design office : Loudordesign studio. His approach takes account of company imperatives as well as user needs and is tempered by the desire to reach a market; his products set out to enrich our environment. Exploring numerous materials, Jean-françois D’Or brings out their beauty without ostentation. His simple, unpretentious, logical objects appeal as much on for their evident, clearly perceptible design as well as their discrete poetry. Distributed by Cinna, Domani, Interni edition, Konstantin Slawinski, Jongform, Ligne roset, Toss b, the Conran shop among others, he has found his way to international success. His work has just been awarded an Henry Van de Velde quality label.

Nom d'une pipe !!

Polished brass pipe object.

Nom d'une pipe !! is an object to bring the bill to the table after a successful meal.
The Bon Bon Chef Christophe Hardiquest asked me to think about some scenarii regarding how to bring the bill.
"L'addition, s'il vous plaît ".
Nom d'une pipe !! is a Belgian expression that communicates surprise, astonishment.
The bill is thus rolled into the brass pipe expressing the smoke, the lightness and delicacy of the moment. Inside a the ebony box is a high quality graphic thanks card.
