Description

Like a mineral fragment caught between land and sea, the Nix Side Table by Clémence Joséphine Touzet Joséphine Touzet is a poetic expression of raw natural beauty and sustainable craftsmanship.

Handcrafted from Vegetal Glass®, recycled Mother of Pearl, reclaimed oyster and mussel shells, and repurposed metals sourced from construction and plumbing, each piece strikes a delicate balance between strength and refinement, matter and light. Its sculpted base, reminiscent of a rock shaped by time, anchors the design in an organic, instinctive presence.

The smooth tabletop reveals a subtle brilliance, where crushed mussel shells are scattered across the surface, creating a marbled texture infused with deep, shifting hues. Composed entirely of offcuts from luminaires, vases, and trays, Nix is a manifesto of zero-waste design, where discarded materials are reborn as art.

More than a functional piece, the Nix Side Table is a testament to engaged craftsmanship, transforming forgotten fragments into a sculptural dialogue between nature, time, and sustainability.

About Clemence Josephine Touzet Visit Showroom →

Clémence Joséphine Touzet is a French architect and designer. She has distinguished herself through her work on innovative and ecological materials, as well as her research on bioregionalism. One of her major accomplishments was the creation of a world-unique material called VEGETAL GLASS ®​​ a 100% bio-sourced material, hot compostable, and entirely manufactured in France. She won the first prize of the Métiers d'arts de France (Arts and Crafts) in 2024 for her first lamp Normandy. Bio: After completing her studies, Clémence Joséphine began her career in 2010 in Berlin, Germany, working at some of the country's most prestigious architecture firms, including Hascher Jehle Architektur and Barkow Leibinger Architekten. During her time in these firms, she specialized in cutting-edge construction techniques and expanded her knowledge of eco-friendly building materials. Over her twelve years in Berlin, until 2022, she deepened her research into sustainable materials, exploring the use of algae and oysters in construction and design processes, with a focus on environmental responsibility. In 2020, Clémence Joséphine founded CENSIS RUBLISS, an innovative materials research laboratory and a design editor dedicated to design, lighting, tableware, and jewelry, all developed from her research on innovative materials. This groundbreaking material has positioned Clémence Joséphine as a pioneer in the use of ecological materials within the fields of design and architecture. Her brand reflects her commitment to sustainability, and she is involved in both the design and production of her creations, which are crafted in her workshops located in La Tremblade, Charente-Maritime, at the heart of the Marennes-Oléron basin. The first collection "Mother of Pearl" is made of Vegetal Glass and recycled oysters and mussels shells from local industries only, no toxic matters and additifs.
