Babliano Lounge Chair, formed as a continuous sculptural ribbon, transitioning from curved support into an elevated seat and backrest through a single directional movement. The geometry balances structural compression and visual lift, allowing the mass to appear anchored while the upper plane maintains a sense of suspension. Subtle shifts in curvature and angle encourage the blackened bronze surface to respond dynamically to light and viewing position, reinforcing the work’s spatial presence

Babliano draws influence from the carved permanence of ancient artefacts and ritual objects, alongside the precise proportion of classical architectural traditions

Echoes of Roman structural clarity and the refined restraint of French neoclassical design inform the collection, reinterpreted through a contemporary sculptural language that encourages moments of pause, contemplation, and heightened spatial awareness

Forms emerge with controlled force, where mass gradually transitions into curve and edges soften into shadow, allowing each piece to shift subtly with light, movement, and human presence

Handcrafted by Ateliers Saint-Jacques in France, the collection embodies a disciplined approach to European craftsmanship and sculptural making. Each work carries subtle hand-applied variation and material depth, revealing traces of human touch. These nuances allow the pieces to hold a lasting sense of permanence and authorship
