About épuré jtl
épuré jtl is the furniture studio of Canberra maker John Larocque focussed on individually made furniture, boxes and domestic objects in solid timber with an emphasis on simplicity and proportion
designed to be lived with
The name épuré is a French word that reflects a preference for clarity: unnecessary detail removed, proportion carefully considered, and the material allowed to speak
Each piece is made one-off or in very small numbers. Timber selection, grain direction, joinery and finish are treated as part of the design
The work ranges from intimate boxes to occasional furniture. The aim is consistent throughout — objects that are useful, quietly distinctive and durable enough to gather a history
