Bleu Nature – When Driftwood Meets Design
Not your everyday beachcomber!
At Stocktons Manchester we strive to offer our customers furniture that is not only functional but unique and beautiful as well. There is one brand that ticked all of the boxes for us and that is Bleu Nature. Creating furniture from reclaimed pieces of driftwood and natural leather hides, producing a stunning end product.
Bleu Nature came from Frank Lefebvre’s unique vision of the raw and natural material that is driftwood. The forgotten material from the waters moulded by time and current has been bewitching him since 1995.
His passion is to breathe new life into driftwood and to bring nature into modern interiors. Bleu Nature is now the unrivalled leader in driftwood products and furniture design. They claim to have used over 150 tonnes of raw material since they started production.
Frozen in time…
Some of our favourite and the most popular Bleu Nature products are the acrylic blocks. To be used as side tables or decorative object these blocks are like artistic sculptures. The pieces of driftwood deemed to have the most character are set in what they call ‘liquid glass’ an immaculately clear acrylic resin, some pieces of wood are even scorched with a flame adding even more mystique and intrigue.
This range has proven so popular it has been adopted by another of our favourite brands, Timothy Oulton. Using Bleu Natures products to accentuate there room sets they have taken the Xylum Acrylic Wood Side Tables and the Spur Acrylic Wood Side Tables and made them their own.
Producing these masterpieces takes time and skill, with only a limited few of any batch passing strict quality control as a misplaced bubble can ruin the design.
Available in many designs, so popular we try and keep some in stock get in touch with us to see what we have. 0161 – 273-5331

Mobilier (..Furniture)
Bleu Nature’s furniture is a comprehensive collection of eccentric design and a true love of nature and the beauty that it produces. Using a mix of fully natural aniline cow hides, raw woods with bold finishes there is not much out there that can be compared to Bleu Nature.
As hard as it was to choose here are some of our top picks..
One of our favourite sofas is the Chicane Sofa (as pictured above). Its modular design makes finding the best configuration for your home is easy. Available in many leather finishes.
Another is the unique Puddle Coffee Table Set of 2 By Bleu Nature. The free form nature of the reclaimed tree trunk pieces means the tinted glass on top resembles a puddle as it follows the lines of the trunk.

Outdoor Collection , patina stamps its footprint on the matter …
There is elegance in things sculpted by time.
It’s seems like an obvious decision for a brand so heavily devoted to all things natural and the wild that they offer an Outdoor Furniture Collection. Equally as design orientated as their indoor range, the driftwood branches woven into one another seamlessly blend into the environment around them on this Outline Drifted 2 Seater Wing Seat.
