Nicolas Desbons

Nicolas Desbons was born in 1969 in Paris. From high school, he focused on art studies. In 1989, he enrolled in a preparatory class at the A.T.E.P. He left for the USA in 1990 and enrolled at the California College of Arts and Crafts in San Francisco.
He earned a BA in Industrial Design from CCAC in 1994 and simultaneously discovered steelworking. He returned to France in 1995 and began his apprenticeship as a locksmith and ironworker in Montreuil with Fred Vigy.
After a year, he founded the E.U.R.L. Desbons Design in Montreuil, which in 1999 became La Boîte de Fer in partnership with Fred Vigy. A change of heart in 2001 led to a change of studio and status to that of artist. Since then, he has participated in exhibitions and trade shows in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
