A civil engineer by training, nothing seemed to predict a future for him in craftsmanship. Yet it is in this field that Mr. Fanfan has since distinguished himself.

In a country where the construction sector is slowing down, some choose to wait, others to reinvent themselves. Jean Philippe Fanfan belongs to the latter category. A civil engineer by training, a mathematics teacher at the beginning of his career, and a former collaborator with the United Nations (UN), where he worked in peacekeeping and with other international organizations, he has carved out a singular path toward craftsmanship—not through a break, but through a logical continuity between scientific rigor and manual creation.
