Francis Chabloz, a design of exception (s) in everyday life.

First work on wood, seize it and think of it in all its applications, its textures and its nuances; indicate forms, design it without knowing still that he is a designer.

Overlooking «A dinner with friends» all leds outside the Shark, Francis Chabloz chandelier becomes a straight out of a bling-bling version of «Jaws».
