Behind every piece created by Atelier Jouvence is the hand and vision of a true master. Olivier Dumont is one of only a handful of French stone carvers currently working in the United States, bringing centuries-old craftsmanship into modern American homes. His workshop is where tradition, artistry, and architectural precision come together to create custom carved stone pieces that are as enduring as they are beautiful.
A Legacy Rooted in French Stone Carving
A native of Dijon, France, Olivier Dumont was trained in traditional French stone carving techniques by some of Europe’s most respected master artisans. This rigorous apprenticeship-style training emphasizes patience, precision, and a deep respect for the material itself.
Unlike mass-produced stone elements, each piece carved in Olivier’s workshop reflects an intimate understanding of proportion, balance, and classical design principles that have been passed down for generations.
Inside the Stone Carving Workshop
The Atelier Jouvence Custom Stoneworks workshop is a place where raw limestone and marble are transformed entirely by hand. Using traditional tools and techniques, Olivier and his team of skilled artisans shape every curve, edge, and detail with intention.
From ornate mantels to refined modern profiles, each custom carved stone piece begins as a solid block and evolves slowly through careful carving. This hands-on process allows for complete creative control and results in work that cannot be replicated by machines.
Custom Carved Stone for Architecture and Design
Beyond fireplaces, the workshop produces a wide range of custom carved stone elements, including range hoods, furniture, fountains, and architectural features. Each project is tailored to exact specifications, allowing designers and homeowners to achieve a truly bespoke result.
The ability to customize scale, detail, and finish ensures that every piece integrates seamlessly into its environment while maintaining its own artistic presence.
Old World Craftsmanship for Modern Homes
What sets Atelier Jouvence apart is the fusion of Old World craftsmanship with modern design needs. Olivier Dumont’s work honors tradition while adapting effortlessly to contemporary interiors, making his pieces relevant, functional, and timeless.
