Patrick M. Poisson

Exocet is owned by Patrick M. Poisson, a freelance designer and metalsmith.  After graduating from the University of Toronto with an M.A. in Art History he went on to work and study at various art museums and galleries such as the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C., the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery in Toronto and the Museum of FineArts in Sherbrooke, Quebec.  Creating art, particularly drawing and painting, was secondary during these years until he came into contact with metal as a medium.  Today he is commissioned to design and build architectural components and decorative objects as well as create sculpture for residential and commercial spaces.

Following management training, he became a foreman in charge of 10 shop employees and two teams of installers while helping to train four apprentices. As a metalsmith his knowledge extends to all that is made of metal in a home: stairs, railings, furniture, solariums, glass facades, light framework, entrance doors, garage doors and sheetmetal work.  He also works with a variety of metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper.
