Good life

​Sculptor Alain Ellouz’s eponymous atelier expertly uses crystal realisations with alabaster – a mesmerising stone that has fascinated cultures for centuries. The Greeks regarded rock crystals as ice. The ancient Egyptians prized alabaster, while early Mediterranean cultures viewed them as solidified light. Though difficult to extract, these crystals have remained coveted over decades and have been used by artists in the precious, and often highly collectible, works of art that they create. Atelier Alain Ellouz is no exception – he took up the challenge of giving new form and function to alabaster. In less than ten years, Atelier Alain Ellouz has more than 300 stunning projects around the world today. The master designer has used many innovative techniques to develop his creations, from cutting and assembly, to the treatments necessary to integrate alabaster and rock crystal into avant-garde designs. A regular exhibitor at Maison & Objet and Salone Internazionale del Mobile Milan, Atelier Alain Ellouz has been shortlisted for The International Product Design Award this year. Bringing his creative flair to India, Alain’s collection of timeless chandeliers and light fixtures are now available at My Tailor Home.

Very ‘Deer’

In a blast-from-the-past series, when deers and tiger cubs were raised as pets and elephants and horses were de rigueur on home premises, the Safari collection by Frazer and Haws is an attempt to recreate nostalgia for modern homes. The ‘‘Safari Butler’’ is a set of two limited edition deers, frozen in motion and cast in bronze with tables balancing on their backs to hold bar accessories or else, while the majestic antlers are capped with candle holders. The table resting on the backs is in frosted and etched glass that slides into grooved rims, to make cleaning easier. The table stands are fixed with screws to the back on either side of the deers. The candle stands on the antlers can be detached for cleaning and polishing too.
