Arno Piren

Founder & Designer

My path to furniture was anything but conventional. I came from a strong background in languages and literature before moving into public service as a police officer, while at the same time performing as a professional wrestler. Moving between such different worlds shaped my sense of discipline, observation, presence and control.

After a difficult turning point in my life, I found woodworking and became completely absorbed by it. What began as a craft quickly became something deeper: a way of thinking about material, proportion, patience and permanence. I went on to complete my woodworking training and discovered that making furniture gave me a language that felt both physical and creative.

LegnArte grew from that convergence. It is not about producing furniture for the sake of production, but about creating pieces with a distinct presence — objects shaped by material, space and the individuality of the person they are made for. Each commission is an opportunity to create something singular, considered and lasting.

Rooted in Luxembourg. Shaped by experience. Made to leave a lasting presence.
