A team of outdoor enthusiasts on a mission to make our world more circular.

Benoit_Gourlet_-_CTO

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

BENOIT GOURLET

Making the best product, with the best materials, in the best workshop.

A lover of bees and the ocean, Benoit launched La Virgule (Artefact's former name) in 2019, after 4 years at Decathlon as a product engineer.

The problem he faced: adding 30% recycled polyester is "good", but what happens to sport and outdoor products at the end of their life?

Maxime Labat Responsable B2B

SALES DIRECTOR

MAXIME LABAT

Finding shops and companies ready to change the world (and their bag).

A former junior windsurfing world runner-up, Maxime joined Benoit in 2019 after travelling the globe for international competitions.

One question on his mind: what to do with his old windsurf and kite gear?
