Bertille Laguet
Art ironworker
Puidoux
About
« I orient my work as a designer on artisanal know-how, local and conscious production to stay in line with my values. »
Bertille Laguet follows a technical course which allows her to discover how objects are made before learning to design them herself. During her studies in industrial design, she became familiar with the foundry and subsequently discovered iron working with the ironworker Philippe Naegele, whose forge she took over in 2020.
« I wanted to understand objects differently. I knew how they were made. I wanted to learn how to draw them. »
When Bertille Laguet enters Philippe Naegele's forge for the first time, she knows she is in the right place. In this place, the ironworker passes on his know-how and teaches him to master traditional blacksmithing techniques. Today, his pieces are acquired by both museums and individuals.
