Handle with care

by Jean-Baptiste Durand

Jean-Baptiste Durand presents, exclusively at Alcova, a series of lights created from dormant stocks of laboratory glassware.
These lamps appear as micro-chemical experiments: each piece incorporates a vessel filled with water that transforms into mist through the action of a mist maker.
This reaction is illuminated by LEDs positioned within the geometry of each object.

These lamps will be accompanied by a pendant light and a coffee table specifically designed for this installation.

Jean-Baptiste Durand is a designer based in Paris.
In his personal work, he explores various fields such as interior architecture, furniture, and objects—whether functional or not.
After an initial solo venture, the receipt of several awards—including the Rado Star Prize—and then a pause in his practice, he re-emerged during Design Week 2023, imbued with a lightness nourished by a desire to remain naive and innocent.
