Intention Made Visible
Precision meets purpose to give rise to timelessly elegant design with a boldly minimalist touch.
Passion for the Reimagination of Objects
Passion lies at the center of everything Charles Simon.
We are driven by the desire to reimagine objects—stripping them down to their essence, then elevating them to new levels of excellence. Our pursuit of distilled complexity unfolds through design: sophisticated functionality expressed through sleek, deceptively simple forms. It is this quiet obsession—with precision, with refinement, with the conviction that things can be done differently—that defines everything we create.
Design Driven by Engineering Expertise
Design at Charles Simon begins not with ornament, but with structure—with a search for innovation, performance, and precision.
Our engineering mindset shapes how we think, allowing us to design through the lens of optimization. Every material is carefully considered, every mechanism is developed in-house and every detail exists to serve both form and function.
In this union of engineering, aesthetics and craftsmanship, beauty is not added, it is revealed through a process of refinement.
A Contemporary Interpretation of Timeless Elegance
To us, minimalism is more than an aesthetic—it is a way of thinking.
A discipline of deliberate reduction that reveals only what is essential. We pursue design in its most distilled form, where simplicity is intentional and every element is resolved with clarity. Our signature pure forms and sleek lines arise from a deeper pursuit: to unify beauty and functionality in their most elevated expression. The result is a quiet elegance—contemporary in its edge, timeless in its enduring appeal.
“Our professional backgrounds allow us to approach design through the lens of engineering – distilling complexity into clarity. We believe that true beauty is not achieved through excess, but revealed through purposeful refinement until only the essential remains. This philosophy lies at the core of our design, resulting in sophisticated functionality paired with deceptively simple, sleek aesthetics.”
Original by Design
The distinctive Charles Simon aesthetic is the result of years of development—a signature marked by strong lines, geometric shapes, and design-driven functionality.
This singular vision has been recognized with multiple design patents, underscoring the innovation and originality at the core of our creations.
Function vs Fonction
At Charles Simon, function is never purely mechanical—it’s emotive, impassioned, soulful. The English “function” speaks to utility; the French “fonction” evokes intention, role and identity.
Our design lives in the space between the two: where performance is paramount, but meaningful expression is equally vital. Through precise engineering and contemporay craftsmanship, we create objects that do more than work—they elevate, they inspire, they endure.
From Thought to Form
Our design philosophy comes to life in the hands of our talented artisans.
Each Charles Simon accessory is the result of a meticulous in-house process, where contemporary craftsmanship techniques and materials of the highest quality are handled with care, intention, and exacting attention to detail. It is through this union of thought and touch that our vision becomes real.
