Les Hommes de Lettres

Calligraphy and true love of the letter in service of the beauty of our detritus, trash and garbage. Garbage Beauty has been transforming abandoned objects and furniture since 2010 across cities around the world: Paris, Miami, New York, Toronto, Quebec City, Montreal, Austin, New Orleans, Detroit, Amsterdam and Brussels. They give voice to these elements, fruits of a consumer society that consumes without limit and leaves behind treasures to calligraph.

In response to the growing popularity of their art, a new entity was born to better serve the demand for interventions outside the original established mission of Garbage Beauty. Les Hommes de Lettres was born at the beginning of 2014 and has been working tirelessly ever since, integrating literature through calligraphy and creating artistic concepts around the purest medium of expression: the letter.
