"At first, our client had expected to hang
paintings on the alabaster walls.
When she saw the walls achieved, she
changed her mind. The paintings were
needless.
The alabaster is the artwork."
Pascal Desprez
Alain Ellouz leads a qualified and dynamic team
capable of realizing his ideas. His alliance of three
strong, creative personalities gives coherence and
presence to the creations. Each work is a result of the
cumulative efforts of these three.
Interaction, dialogue, rigour, and pragmatism- all of
these necessary values were applied to ensure the
success of this collection, and the signature of Atelier
Alain Ellouz.

L’Atelier Alain Ellouz offre depuis bientôt 10 ans une
solide expérience de la mise en œuvre de la pierre
à travers la réalisation de projets sur mesure prestigieux, de toutes dimensions, jusqu’au plus monumental. Le calepinage est étudié en concertation avec
l’architecte. Nous avons mis au point des techniques
innovantes de découpe, d’assemblage, de traitements
pour intégrer l’albâtre avec le soin du détail et de la
finition. Le toucher est soyeux.

A u c o e u r d e l ’ a l b â t re
Il existe deux sortes d’albâtre : l’albâtre calcaire et
l’albâtre gypseux. Seul l’albâtre gypseux offre une
vraie transparence. Perméable, le gypse qui compose
majoritairement la pierre, a laissé les sédiments végétaux et minéraux le pénétrer au cours des siècles,
et dessiner les formes visibles aujourd’hui au coeur
de la pierre.
Mais cet albâtre est rare : peu de gisements
exploitables, et peu de carrières en activité.
Il faut extraire une grande quantité de pierres
pour trouver les blocs avec la bonne dureté,
la belle qualité de transparence et des dimensions utilisables pour les projets. La taille,
au delà de 50 cm, est un facteur de rareté.
La production est irrégulière, il peut se passer plusieurs mois sans trouver de blocs de qualité.
A t t h e h e a r t o f t h e a l a b a s te r
There are two kinds of alabaster stone: calcite alabaster and gypsum alabaster. Only the gypsum alabaster
offers true transparency.
A permeable gypsum of which the stone mostly composed of, allowed the plant and mineral sediments to
penetrate it over the centuries ,and draw the visible
forms at the heart of the stone.
But this alabaster is rare: few excavated fields, and
few active quarries. It is necessary to extract a large
quantity of stones to find blocks with good hardness,
good quality and transparency, and dimensions suitable for projects. The size beyond 50 cm is a rarity
factor. The production is irregular, it may take several
months to find quality blocks.

L’Atelier Alain Ellouz n’emploie que les pierres les
plus belles, les plus blanches, directement choisies
dans les carrières.
Nous avons constitué un stock important avec un
réassort régulier. Les plaques sont réunies en ensembles qui permettent de réaliser des calepinages
subtils et des projets multiples et exigents pour la
cohérence du rendu.

The 5-star Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses in Rabat is
located close to the Royal Palace surrounded by 17.3
acres (7 hectares) of Andalusian gardens with 3000

Inherently, the alabaster is brittle and friable, with a
high sensitivity to shock. Any shock, even very light,
embeds a standstill in the heart of the matter. In order
to overcome this fragility, we developed highly technical process. These treatments in the heart of alabaster are repeated until the slab becomes hard enough
for the intended use: door, wall, floor, ceiling...
The treated alabaster, shaped and implemented in
our workshop has unique properties. It is ready to
comply with strong technical constraints.
De la création à la fabrication
Alain Ellouz s’entoure d’une équipe complète et dynamique capable de mettre en œuvre ses intuitions.
L’alliance de trois fortes personnalités créatives
donne une ligne forte et une véritable cohérence aux
créations de pierres et de lumière. Chaque luminaire
est le fruit de cette écriture à trois.
Interactivité, dialogue, rigueur, pragmatisme, autant
de valeurs appliquées pour l’aboutissement de cette
collection unique et audacieuse, signature de l’Atelier

Alain Ellouz
A creative talent: an experienced entrepreneur as
well as a sensitive sculptor, he is fascinated by the
unknown, and all that is new. Above all, he is one who
likes to push past the limits of what is considered
possible. He dreams and draws unexpected objects,
then invites his team to find the design and technical
solutions necessary to complete the project.

Alexis completes the duo initially formed by Alain and
Marion. An architect graduate, and professionally
trained in design and cabinet making- he is able to
utilize all of these competencies, spending as much
time in the workshop as in the research department.
Because he intimately knows the properties of the
materials, he is able to carry out projects from the
design stages through to development.

L’albâtre est beau mais l’albâtre retroeclairé est extraordinaire :
50% du rendu final des ouvrages dépend de la qualité des sources
lumineuses et du soin apporté à leur intégration au sein des pierres.
L’éclairage doit valoriser la pierre, jouer avec les dessins intérieurs,
rester suffisamment discret pour ne pas écraser les subtilités du veinage. Nous définissons le type de technologie lumineuse en fonction
de chaque réalisation.
Les architectes d’intérieurs nous font confiance et nous demandent
des projets toujours plus originaux et somptueux. Ces savoir-faire
nous permettent de répondre aux attentes les plus ambitieuses de
nos clients.

The alabaster is beautiful but the backlit alabaster is extraordinary.
50% of final rendition of works depend on the quality of the light
sources and the care given to their integration into stones. The lighting should enhance the stone, play with interior traceries , remain
discreet enough to not crush subtleties of veining. We define the type
of light technology based on each project .
Interior designers trust us, they ask us to carry out ever more inventive and sumptuous projects. These skills allow us to meet the highest
expectations of our customers.
