Bas-reliefs

Galerie kreo

2021

The series Bas-Reliefs created with designer Ronan Bouroullec, consists of a collection of 30 works at the intersection of sculpture, painting, and design. It explores the combination of two materials rarely seen together: ceramic and aluminum.

 

Blam supported the designer on all aluminum elements by handling the technical development, design, and fabrication of the frames. Extensive research was conducted to develop a custom anodized coloring process. New shades were created specifically for this series.

‍

 Each Bas-Relief is unique. This is due both to the anodized finish, whose reflections are intimately dependent on the surrounding space, and to the ceramic piece shaped by Ronan Bouroullec. 

‍

 Designed without visible joints, the aluminum frame is an integral part of the work. Its function is no longer just to present or support; it serves as an element of composition and creation for the designer.
