The ChanChàn collection is made up of twelve 3D printed parts. The whole piece is covered with a layer of mastic which creates a fluid composition. The glossy paint plays with the light source, transforming it into a sculpture to contemplate. The forms speculate on a future world and are inspired by a Pre-Columbian civilization. This is a handmade design. It is modelled spontaneously in a virtual matter. The ChanChàn chandelier remains a unique piece produced in 3 editions, signed and numbered.

AuchKatzStudio (Elsa belbacha & Thomas Thibout)
AuchKatzStudio is a French design studio established in 2017 and composed of the visual artist Elsa Belbacha-Lardy and the space and product designer Thomas Thibout. Based on their individual principles, they aim to combine art and design in a form inspired by minerals. In a world subject to globalization, their empirical work fights against large scale serial design. They work to sublimate the roughness and instability of their materials so as to achieve an experimental design where materials dominate and allude to both solid and fragile matter. Their designer approach is that of a sculptor as they cut their block of polystyrene as one might cut a stone. They let themselves be guided by the spontaneity of their gestures, and the design they have in mind is not the final product, but rather its starting point. Their work process is based on the colors of material and its capacity to capture the movement of light and the passing of time.
