domestique is a creative study founded by Bastien Beny and Simon Delacour in 2016. It is all about designing accessories, inspired by a reflection on desire and everyday objects.

One hand alone cannot clap, Simon is the Director of Strategy and Business Developer. He went through Paris’ Ecole de Condé, Duperré School in Paris and the Fine Arts School of Milan.

He now advises independent brands.
The duo works toward creating everlasting innovative accessories.
