'BORDEAUX' series of wine bottle holders.
Bronze moulded in ice, sculpted by hand.
As sculpting and wine making are both forms of craft and art, it was exciting as a French artist to bring them together.
Series of unique, signed and numbered editions.
Made-to-order, or find them at @doen.do 🌞🍷
Functional Drawing, Blue Pen chair
Limited copies, numbered, signed.
90x45x50cm _Transparent, blue resin
This furniture is a playful exploration into the process of creation, intricate yet often taken for granted: drawing an idea and making it a tangible object.
Blue Pen chair is a suggestion for our most intuitive sketches to define the final design. This step is here exemplified in an unmistakable manner, as the silhouette of a chair has been engraved by hand, its lines floating in layers inside the transparent body.

Kron, bronze console cast in ice
75x60x50cm
available
The cavernous patterns and textures are the reaction of hot wax casted in an ice mould, to make the initial model. By lost wax technique, it is replaced by casting bronze. The piece of furniture stands on its structure of runners, which are the tubes that the metal was poured through at the foundry. The colour of the console is the original skin of the metal which was not altered since it was poured. The object shows a design that is closely in conversation with its production.

We’re proud to see @benjamin_motoc featured in the latest @elledecoration_nl — a full-page spotlight on his poetic, raw and progressive design language.
What sets him apart is his radical process: freezing blocks of water to mold wax, embracing unpredictability, and allowing nature to influence form. “Water remains organic,” he says. “That makes the process exciting and poetic.”
We’re grateful to represent such a daring and thoughtful voice in collectible design.

Conceived in ice and born from magma, my bronze work happens where it’s hot, loud, dusty and heavy. Welcome to the foundry 🌋

Kitchen and dining essentials as art pieces, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary ones 💁🏻♂️✨
@sabine_marcelis table is serving anything but ‘conventional‘ with my bronze bottle holder, the perfectly imperfect glassware by @nienke.sikkema , and @gohar.world dishwashing gloves making ‘kitchen chic’ into a whole vibe.

Excited to share the incredible Vitra Loft by Sabine Marcelis at the iconic Vitra Haus, where I’m contributing with one of my works.
The interior project is a seamless blend of cozy living, workspace and bold dining area, all framed by breathtaking views on nature.
If you get the chance, definitely go experience it in person!
Big thanks to Sabine and the team for making it happen! @sabine_marcelis@johannasepp@sommer216@maaatzee@conniedeluxe@vitra@objectwithlove 💌

What began as a simple drawing of a chair in my sketchbook has literally stood up on its legs to become a functional object 🪑✨
After few years of perfecting crafting techniques and pouring my heart into producing resin works for successful artists and designers, I made a new edition of my Blue Pen Chair. Here it is, in its place of rebirth.
