"HADES" WALL LAMP

ALAN LOUIS, BORN IN BRITAIN IN 1992, EX-MERCHANT NAVY OFFICER, IS A YOUNG DRAWER, DESIGNER AND SELF-TAINED CERAMIST. HE STARTED HIS ARTISTIC CAREER BY EXHIBITING HIS WORKS CENTERED AROUND WILD ANIMALS. DRIVEN BY THE DESIRE AND THE NEED TO CREATE FOR ALWAYS, ALAN LOUIS DID NOT KNOW HOW TO RELEASE THIS CREATIVE FIBER: WRITE, PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, STACK BRICKS… WITH A THOUSAND THOUGHTS A SECOND, A DEPARTURE TO PORTUGAL, AND A LITTLE BIT OF CHANCE, HE DECIDED TO GET INTO CERAMICS. HE CREATED HIS EPONYMOUS BRAND ALAN LOUIS, IN FALL 2021.

"I EXPERIENCE A MULTITUDE OF FEELINGS THAT I WANT TO TRANSMIT THROUGH DIFFERENT AREAS. ART AND DESIGN, ACCORDING TO ME, COMMUNICATE THROUGH THE LINK THAT IS CREATIVITY. I USE THEM AS SPOKESPERSON FOR MY MOODS AND MY DESIRES. "

LIKE THE LIVING SCULPTURES THAT HE SHAPES, THE CONTOURS AND CURVES OF HIS OBJECTS EVOKE STORIES. EARTH CURVES SPOTTED WITH JEWELRY: BENCHES, VASES, TABLES, CANDLES AND Sconces, PORCELAIN CHANDELIERES. AT ALAN LOUIS, NOTHING IS FIXED: WOOD, METAL, GLASS… ARE WELCOME IN THIS CREATIVE JOURNEY WITHOUT BORDERS. THROUGH HIS OBJECTS, ALAN LOUIS BLOWS AN EVER STRONGER WIND OF POETRY, FREEDOM AND SIMPLICITY. THEY ARE UNIQUE OBJECTS, WHICH CHALLENGE, SHOCK CODES AND RECEIVED IDEAS. OPPOSITES UNITE TO CREATE DUALITY, SUCH AS THE MINIMALIST SHAPE OF A BENCH COMBINED WITH THE EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE SPIKES. HIS LOVE FOR BEAUTIFUL FABRICS AND ANCIENT FIBERS LIKE LINEN INSPIRES HIM TO CREATE CUSHION COLLECTIONS THAT COMPLETE HIS WORLD.

ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR NEW CHALLENGES, ALAN LOUIS LIKES TO PUSH THE LIMITS OF HIS CREATIVITY AND HIS WORLD BY OFFERING HIS SIGNATURE TO INDIVIDUALS AND PROFESSIONALS THROUGH THE CREATION OF CUSTOM-MADE FURNITURE AND OBJECTS. INITIATED BY THE TRANSFORMATION OF AN APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF LISBON, ALAN LOUIS CONTINUES TO EXPLORE HIS PASSION FOR RENOVATION AND DECORATION. HE RESTRUCTURES AND MODERNIZES AN OLD HOUSE FROM 1950 IN THE PORTUGUESE COUNTRYSIDE.
