The inaugural collection, Doppler, channels the Doppler effect and reveals artwork that embodies the very essence of water: a brilliant shine associated with fluidity and surprising light reflections. Over several months of communication and knowledge transfer, artist Florian Martin and d’Armes developed this collection. Whether in the forms of singular or triple pendants, floor lamps, or sconces, each Doppler piece beckons exploration of shape and perspective, unlocking a world of creative possibilities.

The following collection, titled 1979, emerges as a visual ode to raw beauty and simplicity, blending the divergent standards of utilitarian aesthetic and contemporary design into a seamless tapestry. This collaboration resonates with Choui’s distinctive vision for a 21st-century revival of the brutalist architecture movement.
