2023


    In November 2023, the association Terre de Râches inaugurates the newly renovated chimney of its old tile-brickworks. To celebrate the event, the association commissioned aequo.design to create an inaugural object which will be distributed to guests. The TDR candle holder is a metaphor for the chimney. The base is cylindrical, made of terracotta from Râches clay, like a slice of a chimney, supports the candle. A wire silhouette surrounds the candle to evoke the shape of the chimney. In this symbolic chimney, the flame evokes the renewed life of this industrial building, now inactive, but now a heritage site.

The association also wanted to make the inaugural plaque for the chimney. The studio worked on a terracotta plaque found on site and enameled the text before kilning the plaque.
