ORRAE
by David Redon
I'am David, the creator of ORRAE.
My ambition: to design ceramic light fixtures where each piece fits together perfectly, in a balance between form, material and light.
I want every person who acquires an ORRAE creation to possess much more than an object: a piece born from artisanal know-how, carrying a human story and the gesture of the hand.
What would we do without light?
Elementary, omnipresent, and yet so discreet. It sets the rhythm of our lives without us really noticing it.
So why not offer it a support designed to reveal it, enhance it and restore it to its essential place.
ORRAE is a reference to light , not only the light that illuminates and warms our interiors, but also the light that guides us on our path through life.
The one that reveals itself when our steps stray into the shadows, that gives life to everyday shapes, and that arises in the mind when an idea becomes clear.
As pastry chef and Compagnon du Devoir of the Tour de France, I have learned and traveled throughout the world in search of human encounters and know-how.
Creative by nature and always attracted by raw material, beauty and the art of transformation, I turned to ceramics as a new field of expression, guided by the earth and the search for harmony.
My career as a chef has taught me the love for travelling, precision, and high standards. My work today extends the pastry chef's craft: a quest for beauty, precision, and emotion.
After having created the ephemeral for a long time, I now want to offer lasting pieces, objects of light designed to inhabit spaces and awaken the senses, as much as a pastry would.
Self-taught, I refined my vision through experience, until I found, at the Hidarinia studio, the ideal space to bring a new adventure to life: ORRAE.
Each piece is unique, born from a dialogue between rigor and freedom, between raw clay and contemporaneity.
ORRAE is a reflection of this path, a journey off the beaten track, illuminated by discovery and creativity.
