Celeste
This lighting collection is very intimate for me. It is about holding on to someone who left earlier than she should have. Inspired by her vision of life, I experiment with techniques and play with materials, all with the purpose of shining light within.
The collection is divided into three parts: Ad Astra, Présences, and Chimères. Each section holds something deeply personal, a special connection between her and me.
- Ad Astra #1
Celeste “Ad Astra” is inspired by her love for the dance between the moon and the sun, the influence they have on us, and her fascination with zodiac readings. It recalls countless night walks through the forest, searching for the perfect spot on a rock to gaze at the moon.
These lights combine melted bronze, representing the sun, with cold stone (alabaster, granite, or marble) symbolizing the moon. I also explore how light can transform our perception of these elements, whether by night or day.
This lamp is inspired by Augusto Giacometti’s painting “Nuit étoilée”. It not only reveals the sun and the moon but also captures the presence of stars within itself.

- Chimères #1
Celeste “Chimères” come from dreams of creatures untethered from earthly limits. They come from a forgotten realm where my imagination met no limits. At a time in my childhood when my senses filled with innocence could still feel forces beyond reach
When I wake from sleep, I try to recall images from those dreams. They are often blurry and shift shapes each time I remember them. I tried to capture that feeling in this chimera.
Its appearance changes depending on the point of view, allowing you to sense and see all its complexities depending your perspective.
It mix different technique and materials such as bronze, alabaster, glass, stone,marble and even wood. The melting of bronze is done in a way to let nature and chaos express itself. After the bronze melting, i have organic forms that I assemble to find shapes and harmony.
