“ Our future must be built in a circular economy, respectful of the environment,
it is the simple message that I wish to transmit with this limited edition project.”

Concerned about environmental issues, "COLONNE" is a minimal sculpture-object "manifesto" that Mathieu Merlet Briand developed during his studies at Arts Déco (2012). Used daily in his studio as both a stool, a side table, and a modular sculpture, he decided to produce a limited edition series.

Mathieu Merlet Briand studied various recycling processes and, led by a research project on the impact of the digital cloud on the environment (2012), he became interested in data recycling. This experimental research on recycling was one of the starting points of his artistic practice.
