Atelier Dimitry Hlinka Sas

What they make

According to their website, Atelier Dimitry Hlinka is a Paris-based design and craft studio that designs and fabricates bespoke furniture, objects and installations to commission. Its workshop at Passage Brûlon in Paris's 12th arrondissement pairs traditional woodworking benches and hand tools with a digital milling machine and 3D printers, running work in-house from concept through prototyping to finished production. A second workshop opened in 2024 at Cour de l'Industrie, equipped with its own machine park for prototyping. A team of five cabinetmakers and prototypists, all trained at the École Boulle design school, carries out cabinetry, marquetry and fabrication. Material research is central, including vegetable urushi lacquer developed with a specialist lacquer artisan, thermochromic effects, granite, cork, bamboo and textile work. Commissioned projects include product development and prototyping for Moët & Chandon, Dior, Glenfiddich, Amouage, Hermès and Daher Aerospace, involving prototype work in Tarbes. Founder Dimitry Hlinka, trained in cabinetry and marquetry at École Boulle, won the 2020 Prix Liliane Bettencourt pour l'Intelligence de la Main, Dialogues category, for the Entropie lacquered radiator using thermochromic technique.
