Jordane Saget when Urban Art Meets Indulgence

Jordan Saget, a contemporary artist and emblematic figure of Parisian street art, brings a touch of minimalist poetry to his collaborations with Gaël. Inspired by Chinese philosophy and Tai Chi, Jordan has developed a singular aesthetic built around a trio of flowing lines a symbol of balance and harmony.

Known for their ephemeral nature, his works drawn in chalk or *blanc de Meudon* appear across the streets of Paris, as well as on the runways of fashion houses such as agnès b. and in large-scale murals created for projects like the Les Enfoirés music video.

In 2024, Jordan joined forces with Gaël Claviere, transforming his iconic lines into chocolate creations where movement and material engage in a sensory dialogue.

“Omphalos” symbolizes the center, the source of life, original stability — the point of origin, a core from which life emerges.

In this piece, a stone egg solid and grounded nourishes the blossoming of an ephemeral chocolate flower suspended above it. At the center, a fragile chocolate egg converses with the solid matter, embodying the delicacy of the present moment and creating a perfect balance between strength and lightness.

Vegetal chocolate lines rise toward the flower, connecting earth and sky while forming the shape of an “8” a powerful symbol of infinity and the continuity of life.

“Omphalos” is a tribute to the shared quest for meaning and harmony that guides the work of Jordan Saget and Gaël Claviere.

Frédérique Tilly: The Strength and Delicacy of Metal

Frédérique Tilly, Master Art Bronze Artisan, explores the poetry of metals to create works that are both powerful and refined. Trained at the prestigious École Boulle, she proudly embraces her role as a pioneer in a field historically dominated by men.

Working with bronze, brass, and silver, Frédérique sculpts matter to reveal its paradoxes the fragile within the solid, the living within the inert. Her artistic vision, infused with themes of freedom and self-expression, comes to life through creations that gracefully blend baroque richness with contemporary elegance.

“Rose de Pavlova”

The collaboration between Gaël Claviere and Frédérique Tilly reaches new heights with the creation of the “Rose de Pavlova.”  Born from a subtle dialogue between culinary artistry and sculpture, this piece harmoniously fuses the airy lightness of meringue with the strength of metal. The result is a work that feels both delicate and enduring a shared statement of their vision: to celebrate the beauty of passion and indulgence while telling a story of balance, craftsmanship, and refined elegance.

The “Rose de Pavlova” is more than a collaboration; it is a meeting point between texture and taste, between structure and softness a tribute to artistry in all its forms.

Jérôme Blin: A Creation Born from the Meeting of the Arts

In a shared pursuit of elevating the ephemeral, Gaël Claviere partnered with Jérôme Blin, a visionary creator who transforms couture into an art of metamorphosis.

Together, they brought “Mue-Temps” to life  a three-act artistic experience where chocolate enters into dialogue with haute couture and fragrance, engaging every sense.

The Metamorphosis in Chocolate

Act I – First Breaths

The audience’s first encounter with the work. Chocolate comes to life like an initial breath delicate, almost imperceptible symbolizing the very beginning of transformation.

Act II – Metamorphosis

Before our eyes, transformation unfolds. Chocolate evolves and reshapes itself, mirroring Jérôme Blin’s creative process in couture. A visual and olfactory choreography emerges, expressing the power, elegance, and inevitability of change.

Act III – Revelation

The performance culminates as light and fragrance intertwine, revealing the full splendor of the creation. This final act celebrates the beauty of the fleeting and the profound intensity of the present moment.

For Gaël Claviere, each collaboration is an opportunity to reinvent chocolate to elevate it into a universal language of emotion and artistry. With “Mue-Temps,” he explores transformation in all its dimensions, crafting a work where passion meets sensorial expression.

Every detail invites us to pause time, to immerse ourselves fully, and to experience a moment of pure emotion.

Benoit Dutour x Gael Claviere

In an increasingly polarized and anxious world, Benoît Dutour and Gaël Claviere collaborate for the first time with a shared ambition: to celebrate the very essence of joy. A joy that is both sensory and indulgent, expressed through Gaël Claviere’s mastery of chocolate, and aesthetic through Benoît Dutour’s iconic “Larmes de Joie” (Tears of Joy).

From this encounter emerges « Canopée Kristaline », a majestic work conceived as a tribute to life, fraternity, and shared emotion. Imagined as an organic elevation, it embodies the union of two artistic worlds and the powerful dialogue between matter and light.

The installation takes the form of a monumental sculptural tree a universal symbol of life and growth. At its base, a powerful trunk crafted from chocolate reveals organic textures reminiscent of bark. The material, deep and warm, grounds the piece with strength and presence. From this foundation rise slender, dynamic branches that unfold into an airy canopy reaching toward the light.

Suspended from the branches, the emblematic “Larmes de Joie” appear like crystalline fruits or droplets of morning dew frozen in time. Their transparency captures and reflects light, creating a striking contrast with the rich intensity of the chocolate. Softness meets radiance; texture converses with transparency. Every detail invites viewers to feel sincerely and fully.

Both rooted and ascending, « Canopée Kristaline »offers a powerful yet accessible visual experience a contemporary tree of life where indulgence and emotion become one.

Installed at the main entrance of Printemps Haussmann Homme, the work is part of the official celebration program marking the 160th anniversary of Printemps.

At the crossroads of art, craftsmanship, and symbolism, Canopée Kristaline reflects a shared conviction: to create works that bring people together, elevate the spirit, and remind us that joy, when shared, becomes a true force.

FUSION CHARNELLE  

VYKI shapes steel like a second skin. Through sculptures cast from the human body, he reveals strength, vulnerability, and individuality capturing the silent power that lies within form.

Gaël Claviere, often described as “The Dalí of Pastry,” is celebrated for his immersive and artistic approach. He transforms sugar into a language one that tells stories, awakens sensations, and preserves memory.

*Fusion Charnelle* takes the form of a human body sculpted in steel, upon which sugar melts, intertwines, and becomes ephemeral flesh.

Metal embodies permanence and structure; sugar expresses softness, sensuality, and the delicate fragility of life itself.

Together, their work explores the tension between strength and surrender, permanence and impermanence a powerful dialogue between material and emotion, where the body becomes both canvas and narrative.
