WHO WE ARE
A team of outdoor enthusiasts, on the road to making our world more circular.

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
BENOIT GOURLET
Make the best product, with the best materials, in the best workshop.
A lover of bees and the ocean, Benoit launched La Virgule (former name of Artefact) in 2019, after spending 4 years at Decathlon as a product engineer.
The problem he faced: adding 30% recycled polyester is "good," but what do we do with the end of life of sports/outdoor products?

SALES DIRECTOR
MAXIME LABAT
Find stores or businesses ready to change the world (and your bag).
A former junior world windsurfing vice-champion, Maxime joined Benoit in 2019, after having traveled the world for international competitions.
A question in mind: what should I do with my old board and kite gear?

CEO
NATHAN DOUILLARD
Make Artefact visible, improve your e-experience, and ensure the business grows!
Passionate about cycling and mountains, Nathan is an expert on the internet and numbers.
His mojo: ride your bike, carry the bike, push it... But move forward! For Artefact, it's the same.

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
MATTHIAS GOULARD
