Presence and disappearance, light and density — Jean-Baptiste Anotin’s work explores the tension between what is seen and what is felt. With the Clarity Collection, interlocking panels of plexiglass form furniture that seems to vanish and reappear with every movement. Armchair, low table, mirror and lamps become prisms that fragment light, inviting users to experience space as a shifting interplay of transparency and reflection.

The same pursuit of precision and purity defines the PP-1 turntable, a monolithic block of aluminium where mechanics are reduced to their essence. Beyond function, it restores the ritual of listening — placing music at the centre, as a sculptural object that vibrates with emotion. Together, these works express a vision where design transcends utility, becoming a language of light, matter and rhythm.
