« Seeing customers’ eyes shine brighter than the crystals of a chandelier encourages me to search again and again for new lighting techniques. »

About

After working as an engineer, Jacky Riesen took over a lighting store. If he starts with chandeliers, he quickly develops new lighting techniques and more modern lamps for both individuals and institutions. In 2019, he won the Métiers d’art & Design prize with master sailmaker Nicolas Berthoud and designer Claudio Colucci.

« Since 1930, the Atelier d’art has accumulated many bronzes, crystals and opalines. I always enjoy the exclamations of those who come for the first time. »

In 2013, Jacky Riesen took over the Atelier d’art, a chandelier factory dating from the 1930s. Using machines that allowed him to manufacture the parts needed to make or repair chandeliers and lamps of all kinds, he is a past master in the art of playing with light. He creates made-to-measure lighting for paintings, facades, ceilings and even sculptures.
