Founded in 2013 by French artists and designers Apolline Couverchel and Gauthier Haziza,
Studio Élémentaires reinterprets environmental motion through a poetic and theatrical lens, focusing on light as their favorite medium. Drawing from their roots in the performing arts, their fascination with kineticism is evident in each piece, seamlessly integrating movement and light.

This innovative approach, blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, defines their distinctive and uncompromising conceptual aesthetic. Their artworks move in captivating sequences, inviting viewers into a contemplative pause, sparking emotional responses. Rather than replicating reality, Studio Élémentaires isolates and reinterprets fragments of the world, prompting reflections on reproduction, recomposition, and transformation. This neo-archaic paradox highlights the unique character of their work, situated at the intersection of art and design, between cultural objects and functional sculptures.

Significant milestones in their journey include collaborations with Michelin-starred Chef Paul Pairet and various fashion projects in Paris. A pivotal residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai in 2015 led to a carte blanche project for Hermès-founded Shang-Xia. In 2018, they joined Zaventem Ateliers in Brussels, a contemporary guild project gathering its denizens under the banner of excellence, in the collective pursuit of new fields of expression through collectible design.
Studio Élémentaires' creations are sought after by renowned interior designers like Lionel Jadot or Tristan Auer, and is featured in various settings, including Nonos & Comestibles at Hôtel de Crillon, The Food Society Paris, and Mix Brussels (hotel and fitness).
Collaborations with luxury brands such as Moët & Chandon and cultural institutions like the Centre Pompidou and Centre d’Innovation et de Design Grand-Hornu further amplify their reach.

Their works are regularly showcased in exhibitions and international fairs, including Brussels Collectible Design Fair, Milan Design Week, Art-O-Rama Marseille, and Material Mexico. Esteemed publications such as IDEAT, ELLE Decor, and Yatzer frequently highlight their captivating and inspiring creations. Apolline and Gauthier also share their expertise through teaching and workshops at renowned Art and Design schools like École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et Métiers d’Arts in Paris or the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
