This chest of drawers isn't something you'd normally see inside a home, but it certainly wouldn't stand out in a woodworking shop.

At first glance, it looks like a stack of wooden planks, but upon closer inspection, you'll realize it's a chest of drawers. A chest of drawers that seems to be nothing more than the material it's made of.

NB: The irregularities of this natural wood are to be considered a quality and not a defect, therefore they characterize each individual container.

Raphaël Charles (1979), is - by his own definition, a self-taught creator of objects.

Raphaël creates sculptures that can be used, but at the same time question the concept of utility. What is a useful object? His creations are impossible to classify because they appeal to everyone and on every level: artistic design or functional art? Or more simply, the desire to create objects born from observation and that can be observed. Utility becomes a solution.
