Ludovic Clément d’Armont
Ludovic CLEMENT d’ARMONT is the creator of Semeur d’étoiles, which is the continuation of a family tradition of centuries of glassmakers, painters, carpenters and artists. Both an engineer and an artist, he combines creative emotions with optical, electronic, thermal, environmental, electrical, chemical, color, energy, mechanical and medical knowledge. “First, the simplicity of my work is based on a fundamental thought: that nature and science are similar. My creative process draws upon the interconnectedness of mathematics and nature: the selective experimentation of nature and human research leads to the same decisions. That is why analysis and experimentation mingle in my creations. The aesthetic result aims to illustrate and proclaim this, in a dreamy and amazed shout, showing the fusion of sciences and life. The place of man inside the universe is thus clear: humanism becomes the demonstrated organization of society.”
Semeur d’Étoiles has embarked on an eco-design approach with experts (Ademe) since 2009. More recently, with VIA manufacturing experts, the approach was taken even further, taking into account every aspect of the creative process and manufacturing. Spectacular results have been obtained, including a 73% saving on manufacturing energy consumption. All our creations are lit exclusively by the highest quality LEDs available: high efficiency, long life, replaceable. Our cleverly designed flat surface luminaires are effective thermal and phonic insulators. Through this complete eco-design approach, the materials we use have little impact on the environment. In our workshop we primarily utilize perfectly recyclable and systematically recycled metals and glass. In addition, these durable materials allow you to use our creations indefinitely, in a way opposite to typical consumer society. Our designs are made so that everything can be repaired if necessary.
Light is essential in a space: for the aesthetics of the place and for the happiness of its occupants. For those who are tired of ordinary lighting, Semeur d’étoiles creates exceptional lights. Chandeliers, ceilings and walls become light sculptures, so delicate that they seem alive. Light plays with materials worked by hand in a new way: glass, crystal, porcelain, brass. Precise work on light – which we model as a material – offers you new forms and light effects. Our complete eco-design approach ensures you get a current and sustainable piece. Centered on people, in dialogue with you, we design and manufacture a unique piece. The individual is at the center of the light, to bring him this French Art de Vivre. Our prestigious clients and our awards show the excellence of our achievements. Rather than a light fixture, choose a work of art that will please you, and give great value.
