Here, unique pieces can be discovered, which have had the right to a second life. When Jean-Pierre Chollet sets out to create a work, it happens that some are unusable. These pieces of works that he could never throw away.
He reused them, put them together to create beauty. He had to break some of them with a hammer to recover the interesting pieces and thus offer them a beautiful revival.
