Operating at the intersection of architecture and design, blam specializes in the conception and fabrication of technically complex artistic installations. Its approach defines a field of experimentation between studio and workshop, bringing together drawing, prototyping, production methods and materiality.
Since 2015, blam has been committed to developing creative solutions, from concept to production, fostering dialogue and collaboration between craftspeople and designers. This approach has given rise to projects such as Zeus, the aluminium and silver-leaf horse galloping along the Seine during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games; the Olympic cauldron for the same event; and the urban design of the public space at Place de la Bourse de Commerce–Pinault Collection in Paris.
Through collaborations with numerous artists and designers, including Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Mathieu Lehanneur, Kengo Kuma, Dominique Perrault and Michael Anastassiades, the studio has developed an in-depth exploration of functionality, urban design and artistic installations within contemporary environments.
Based in Nantes, France, the studio is led by Aurélien Meyer.
