Raphaël Charles on Classicdesign.it
Raphaël Charles (1979) defines himself as a self-taught creator, capable of transforming ordinary objects into sensory and reflective experiences. His works do not stem from a materialistic desire but from the need to explore and challenge the fast-paced rhythms of modernity, hyperconsumerism, and the value of time. His objects suspend time, becoming interfaces that establish lasting connections with those who observe or use them.
Each creation is the result of an experimental artistic process: materials, forms, and functions emerge from a unique creative impulse. His works combine poetic and functional qualities, questioning and engaging the senses. They are not mere objects but experiences that challenge perception—sculptures to be used or contemplated, born of observation and destined to captivate. For Raphaël, utility is merely a means; the true purpose is to seduce and inspire.
