A manifest piece at the center of studio Élémentaires’approach, System represents the fundamental relationship between light and time.

Inspired by celestial mechanics, the object’s intensity progressively changes as it moves in revolution. This aerial ride from shadow to light, from day to night, evokes a timeline conducive for contemplation, fostering a reconnection to the present moment. Multiplied in a space, the units conjure up an atmospheric choreography reminiscent of a stellar circle dance.  

Beyond its apparent simplicity, System reveals a poetic, almost magical interaction through the synchronization of movement and light.
