“Camille Tan creates sculptural mobiles and furniture that explore gravity, balance, and transformation through an attentive dialogue with natural materials and invisible forces.”
Camille Tan (born 1990) is a Brussels-based artist and designer whose practice unfolds between sculpture, design, and craftsmanship. Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, he has developed over the past fifteen years a body of work rooted in collecting and a form of everyday archaeology.
Inspired by nature and his practice of climbing, Tan explores notions of balance, tension, gravity, and movement through mobiles, sculptural objects, and fluid-lined furniture. Using stone, wood, metal, and found fragments, he creates suspended compositions that reveal the invisible forces shaping our environment. Each element carries traces of time, erosion, and material memory, transforming everyday artifacts into living, responsive forms.
Working without predefined plans, Tan develops his pieces through processes of weighing, adjusting, and experimentation, allowing balance to emerge between precision and chance. His works propose a sensitive dialogue between movement and stillness, where sculpture and design merge into a quiet poetry of matter and space.
