Philosophy

we are both named vincent. we think musical instruments are the most poetic, meaningful, magical objects there are, and we couldn’t imagine a better use of our time than inventing new ones.

we believe sound may hold answers; we aspire to make instruments that ask questions.

every instrument and prototype is designed and built in our workshop in paris.
