Modern Metier is a French design platform with a curated selection of contemporary brands and progressive designers. Working with talents from Paris to Stockholm, the platform represents a select roster of European designers, each distinguished by a singular perspective and original point of view. The name “métier,” drawn from the French word for craft, reflects the studio’s commitment to quality and enduring craftsmanship. In 2024, Modern Metier introduced its first collection of furniture and lighting named 'Solstice' in collaboration with French designer Léa Zeroil. Each piece is developed in close dialogue with the designer and local artisans specialising in woodwork, ceramics, upholstery and metalwork.

Modern Metier and French designer Léa Zeroil bring their Solstice collection to Copenhagen, marking the brand's first presentation outside of Paris. Inspired by the sun as a symbol of time and seasonal change, the series draws on mythological references and the rich shades of the natural world. Characterised by poetic forms and a refined material palette including polished metals, noble woods, raw silk, and ceramics, Solstice continues to grow and evolve. For 3daysofdesign, Modern Metier will unveil new pieces alongside different finishes and materials, offering a glimpse into the maison’s ongoing research.
