Tell us your story, how did your vocation come to you?

I have always loved creating with my hands, working with natural materials and designing useful and aesthetically pleasing objects. The idea of making lamps came about while searching for a way to combine wood with light, using a handcrafted and environmentally friendly approach.
Little by little, I developed my own models, until it became my main activity.

How would you describe your style, your artistic approach, in a few words?

A clean, natural, modern and warm style. Simple lines, durable materials, and attention to quality.

What themes or subjects inspire you most in your work?

I draw a lot of inspiration from nature, organic forms, and the desire to create a soft and soothing atmosphere through light.

How do you work?

I work in my workshop in Brittany. Each lamp is handmade, in small batches.
The bases are made of solid white ash, a local and sustainable wood. The lampshades are printed in PLA, a plant-based bioplastic, which I design and print myself.
Each piece is assembled, tested, and finished by hand. The lamps operate via a 5V USB cable and are CE certified.

Tell us about your daily life, your constraints, your joys, your successes…

I manage everything myself: design, manufacturing, testing, assembly and shipping. It's a comprehensive job, sometimes demanding, but very rewarding.
Seeing my lamps go to customers who appreciate their aesthetics and ambiance is what motivates me the most.

Do you have a message you'd like to share, or anything else you'd like to say?

I want to offer durable, locally made products, using materials chosen for their quality and low environmental impact.
Each lamp is designed to last, to be both useful and decorative.
