Objects with presence

Opening a mould is always an emotional process—it is always a surprise, be it a pleasant one, or not so much. But regardless of the outcome, it's all part of a larger journey of experimentation, driven by the pursuit of shapes and techniques that evoke deep emotions. Some projects are temporarily shelved, waiting for the right moment of inspiration, whether it strikes during a walk or in the shower. At other times, different projects may converge into one and suddenly take the spotlight, while sometimes, satisfaction comes from leaving things just as they are.

This collection showcases both ongoing and completed works—a visual timeline.


“Erreur 404 wide” | Sculptural light

"Erreur 404" WIDE version, now recognised as an iconic shape, initially emerged from an exploration to test the properties of concrete alternatives.

Lead time: 2 - 4 weeks


“Erreur 404 - slender”

Sculptural light

"Erreur 404" SLENDER is a refined evolution of its predecessor, merging minimalism with an elegant, strong personality that contrasts simplicity from afar with intricate details up close. It is, to the artist at least, a reminder of the fleeting frustrations of a fast-paced, ever-changing society.

Lead time: 2 - 4 weeks
