As a true artisan of stone, Alain Ellouz masters its qualities and
builds on its flaws to transform what seems ordinary into a jewel.
In 2005, he began his quest to reveal the hidden treasure of each
unique stone. Since then, he has been the inspiration and impetus
behind the workshop’s creations.
Atelier Alain Ellouz opts for radical design, out of both conviction
and respect for natural materials. Alabaster and rock crystal
are living stones whose intrinsic purity naturally brings them to
life. In keeping with the stones’ character, the workshop bases
their designs on pure lines and simple forms that capture just the
essential. For designers, it comes down to showcasing the stone
and using sleek structures to compose new models in an ongoing
commitment to expression through shape and light.
These exceptional creations are all hand-crafted, and designed
with the same standards of excellence and pure tradition upheld
by French luxury brands. Alain Ellouz is the first to develop
this new stone craft. This innovative new art form involves the
meticulous skill of sculptors and finestone craftsmen as well as
the cutting-edge technologies developed to control light and
preserve the qualities of alabaster. A rigorous selection of each
stone, high-precision skill, unwavering commitment and superb
implementation and installation make Atelier Alain Ellouz a part
of France’s heritage of superior craftsmen. Collaboration, dialog,
rigor and pragmatism are core values applied in achieving the
most ambitious projects. Atelier Alain Ellouz reinvents itself every
day. And today’s contemporary pieces will be sought after by
collectors tomorrow.
