Biography:

Fractal resin appeared in France at the end of the 1960s and developed during the 1970s in the context of experimentation with new materials in the decorative arts. This process uses colored synthetic resins that, through chemical reactions, create abstract and organic patterns reminiscent of natural formations.

Used to produce tables, trays, panels, and decorative objects, this technique belongs to the experimental aesthetic of 1970s design, characterized by the use of plastics and striking visual effects.
