After studying interior architecture and design at the "Atelier Met de Penninghen" in Paris and spending nearly ten years alongside Jacques Garcia, Valérie Serin Lok established her agency in Paris before relocating to Geneva. Her attraction to custom work and passion for craftsmanship naturally led her towards the creation of objects and furniture. The essence of her creativity lies in the desire to craft timeless pieces through the use of noble materials. For Maison Pouenat, the utilization of metal as a filter for light, from which emanates a strong and delicate spirit, becomes both structured and poetic, reflecting her architectural and artistic approach.
