A place, a wall, a constraint: I will look into it
A six-metre lobby, a difficult wall, a mood to create, several pieces to bring into dialogue. Every request starts from my work, my materials and my light, and adapts to your space. For private clients, interior designers, architects and hotels.
A commission in five steps
First conversation
Tell me about the place, the wall, the mood, the deadline.
Free sketch
From a photo of your wall, I send you within 7 days a sketch of the piece in place, by day and by night. No commitment.
Deposit
Once the sketch is approved, a 40% deposit starts the making.
Making
I make the piece in the studio in 6 to 10 weeks. I can share the stages if you wish.
Delivery and installation
The piece travels in a custom crate. A screw head and a power outlet are all it takes to hang it.
Your space shapes the piece
Size
From 40 cm to 1.20 m, and beyond 2.50 m for a lobby or a very large wall.
Colour
The ground for Mater Nostra, the discs for Éclipse. It is chosen together, from samples.
Ensembles
Several pieces of different sizes on one wall, set out like a sentence.
The light adapts to the place too: dimmer, intensity and, as an option, a back glow that softly washes the wall around the artwork.
Tell me about your space
The place, the size of the wall, the deadline and, if you wish, a budget. With a photo of the wall, I send back a free sketch within 7 days, with no commitment.

What people often ask
How much does a piece cost?
Price depends on diameter: €4,000 for 40 cm, €6,000 for 60 cm, €8,000 for 80 cm, €10,000 for 100 cm, €12,000 for 120 cm. Larger pieces on quotation. One single price, direct or through a gallery.
How long does it take?
Allow 6 to 10 weeks after the sketch is approved and the deposit is paid.
How is it installed?
Very simply: it hangs on a single screw head firmly fixed to the wall, like a painting. You need a power outlet behind the artwork, which hides it completely. If there is none, a decorative cable can be added. The 12 V power supply is built into the piece.
Does it use much power?
No. The light comes from low-energy LEDs.
How do I care for it?
A light dusting with a soft brush or an air blower is enough.
What if something breaks down?
Everything can be repaired and replaced: LEDs, power supply, brass parts. A piece is made to last and to light up again in ten years.
Can the wall behind the artwork be lit?
Yes, as an option. My pieces shine forward; a back glow can be added on request to softly wash the wall around.
Is the sketch on a photo of my wall charged?
No. It is free and with no commitment, and you receive it within 7 days, by day and by night.
Do you ship abroad?
Yes. Every piece travels in a custom-made crate, in France and abroad.
