“Since I don’t have my own workshop, I never start from the material itself. The development of a concept leads automatically to a material.”

This candelabra is composed of simple rectangular elements arranged in a balanced, non-hierarchical structure. Identical forms are repeated and aligned, allowing proportion and material to define the object rather than ornament or gesture.
Made from Belgian Bluestone, the piece references the material logic found in the work of Carl Andre, an American minimalist artist known for using standard, industrially produced forms to emphasize material presence and spatial order. The stone is used without transformation or embellishment, highlighting weight, surface, and inherent character.
