Camille Tan creates sculptural mobiles and furniture that explore gravity, balance, and transformation through an attentive dialogue with natural materials and invisible forces.
Trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, he has spent over fifteen years exploring the space between art installation, design, and craft. He creates furniture and mobiles with fluid, organic shapes that reveal history and the imprint of time on materials.
Inspired by nature and his practice of rock climbing, he makes mobiles suspended
between gravity and lightness, where balance becomes a language and transforma-
tion a constant. Made from found artefacts, stone, metal, wood, and archaeological
objects, each element carries memory. His works reveal invisible forces shaping our
environment, forming living, moving presences that invite reflection on tension,
fragility, and the passage of time.
He favors a poetic, intuitive, and handcrafted approach, letting intuition guide the
making. Exhibited widely in Belgium and internationally, notably in Brussels, New
York, and Paris, he continues to explore transformation and the interplay of forces,
treating the object not as a product, but as a living presence in motion. His work
reconsiders the relationship between design and sculpture, and between utilitarian
and decorative forms.
