This series of sculptures is inspired by the symbols of the Googie, an architectural style that appeared in California in the early 1950s.

This style is characterized by multiple physical elements and bright colors. At that time, he represented a positive vision of the future, turned towards space and technology.

The series of pieces reinterprets the codes of this unusual architecture while introducing natural materials and an artisanal aspect, a way of reactivating the resolutely optimistic future which it represented to our contemporary considerations.

This series currently consists of seven pieces and is still in production.
