A self-taught designer, Mathieu Challieres first exercised his creative talents in advertising. Specializing in film writing, he won awards at Cannes and spent most of his career with Publicis. At the dawn of the 2000s, he left advertising for the sake of independence and started creating objects. A hobby that has always occupied him in his spare time. His training as an art historian (he is a graduate of the Ecole du Louvre) has enabled him to acquire a whole vocabulary of forms that he spontaneously puts to use in his creations. The mechanisms of commercial development being totally foreign to him, he chose not to invest a cent in his company, considering that it would inevitably be money lost. He, therefore, needed a mode of expression that required almost no capital outlay. This was to be the plaster strip, a technique for which he himself had developed a very unusual skill. His first plaster luminaires quickly found takers among decorators and prestigious stores such as Le Bon Marché in Paris. In 2006, he created the Volières, an unidentified luminous object, which resembles nothing that came before it. Now iconic, they are distributed in more than thirty countries and are handcrafted in his workshop in Belleville, Paris.
