Ludovic CLEMENT d’ARMONT

Ludovic Clément d’Armont is a French artist, designer, and founder of Semeur d’Étoiles, a multidisciplinary practice that explores the relationship between science, nature, and artistic expression. Drawing from both his engineering background and a long family tradition of artisans, glassmakers, painters, and craftsmen, he creates sculptural lighting and collectible objects that unite technical precision with poetic imagination.

Guided by a fascination with mathematics, natural phenomena, and the invisible forces that shape the universe, Clément d’Armont develops works that merge craftsmanship with scientific inquiry. Through glass, light, and carefully engineered forms, his practice celebrates the harmony between nature and human invention, creating objects that evoke wonder while exploring the dialogue between technology, beauty, and the human experience.
