THE ART OF SEEING WHAT REMAINS HIDDEN TO MOST OF US.

“IF YOU DON’T CHANGE THE APPROACH, YOU’RE STILL GOING TO PRODUCE THE SAME THING. “

This is François Chartier’s leitmotiv. This phrase allowed him to understand, from the late 90s, that he had to change his approach in order to be able to develop a 360 degree vision and a greater understanding of the other disciplines with which he had to work. This approach quickly had him thinking “out of the box”, allowing him “to see what others, too busy with their own discipline and sometimes lacking perspective, cannot see”.

Today, Chartier has developed an impressive multidisciplinary approach that allows him to collaborate with numerous companies around the world. He analyzes their products from a new perspective to transform them (or to offer users new ways to use them); or he develops new products, such as the popular new “Chartier-style” recipes.
