Duo of two luminaires, a very large one and a small lamp forming two pebbles in marble powder and polyester resting on a circular aluminum base each bearing their original label of atelier a. André cazenave is mainly known for his sculptures published by atelier a in the second half of the 1960s. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, its pebbles (dora model), cubes, pyramids, corals and busts of greek inspiration are made of marble powder and polyester sanded by hand and have an aluminum base. Atelier a was a collective enterprise: painters, sculptors, young architects gathered to produce forms that were supposed to improve the daily decor of our lives. This ambitious collaboration aimed precisely at producing prototypes of forms, participating in industrial aesthetics or personal decoration programs and developing shows or audiovisual environments. Atelier a was a technical team whose collective activities were coordinated by a painter, françois arnal and an art critic, pierre restany, participating in the development of the programs. They measure respectively, for the largest: 29 cm X 35 cm X 26 cm and for the smallest: 20 cm X 22 cm X 18 cm. Slight wear and jumps of materials visible in the photo.
