MAGNUM OPUS
“For me, a cellar is a form of grid, a repetitive and utilitarian structure. From a geometric pattern that I drew and imagined in volume, I intervened on the structure of the cellar in a simple way, by subtracting the elements of its composition. The sequencing principle is thus disturbed by a deconstruction until the complete degradation of the pattern, which is that of the cellar. From these full and empty spaces results a complex and light binary frame in which the bottles will be displayed in a gradually decreasing sequence.”

“Rayon referring to oriental geometrical art, this motif also recalls the structure of a hive. Variations are integrated into the principle of repetition in order to animate the composition. The complexity of the motif and its alterations lend themselves to a sort of meditation.”

Frédéric Cordier Artist
Frédéric Cordier is a SwissCanadian artist born in Montreal in 1985. His work revolves around the notion of systems to which he associates the idea of dysfunctionality. His formal preoccupations explore the basic elements of a specific vocabulary, aiming at a highly visual efficacy with simple interventions that play on rhythm and pattern, full and empty, black and white. Through sculpture, architectural installation, and drawing, Frédéric Cordier explores a visual language that focuses on repetition. His solo exhibitions include Toppings (2022) in Lausanne, Vapeurs (2022) in Quebec City, and Night Views (2023) in Montreal. In 2023, he also released a monograph covering his work from 2010 to 2022. In 2024, Cordier participated in the group exhibition Hantologie/Anthologie #2 in Saint-Étienne, France. 20

“For Cellart I wanted to invest in the concept of repetitive circular motions and lines. Reusing the composition of one of his notorious drawings on black paper, the diagonals and rays are the structural elements of the cellar, offering multiple possibilities to present and showcase wine collections.”

Flux
Flux refers to the concept of a wave suspended in time. The cycle of life and surfing pause in a geometric sculpture, paying tribute to modern art and the power of nature. It’s a wave of wine that carries us beyond ourselves, like drunkenness and its passions.

“I wanted to transform the wine cave into a sanctuary, the wine cabinet into a kind of tabernacle - a place of reflection, ritual, and shared experience. The toast, like a secular prayer, offers us a moment to declare our greatest hopes, our deepest gratitude, and our most meaningful celebrations. Open Windows envisions a cellar that offers a quiet refuge from the frenzy of everyday life. The result captures a sense of the sacred, as the cellar becomes a space for reflection, celebration and meditation on the senses.”

“What a great challenge Cellart offered me. I immediately wanted to propose an environment that would combine both the needs of the most demanding wine collectors and what lies outside the frame of my images, behind the specifically designed colored fields of photograms, behind the folds of light. Cellart’s incredible engineering ability convinced me to let my creativity express itself without limit, reinforced by their unique knowledge about wine conservation, woodworking, and art to create an uncompromising space.”

Immersive abstraction
Based on photograms, this unique wine space is a nod to what happens in a dark room. Meticulously designed to evoke brief moments of wonder and a dynamic rhythm, it keeps in mind the idea of a composed, framed space, that summons the geometry of the photograms.

“An underground living space, far from the noise and distractions of the modern world, dedicated to wine and art. An interior aesthetic to enjoy a feeling of sanctuary and retreat, where every elements and details of the space is reduced to its essence, thanks to the absence of the unnecessary. A place to reconnect to the basics and joy of living: sharing a bottle or two of good wine with a friend, reading poetry aloud, being moved to tears by great music or listening to what silence has to say...”
