Samuel Javelle (alias sjvl) is a designer whose practice sits at the intersection of industrial design, digital fabrication, and organic form-making. After studies in industrial design, he embarked on a unique creative journey, designing and constructing his own specialized machines and tools. This approach has enabled him to cultivate hybrid manufacturing processes that seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship techniques with cutting-edge generative design, experimental plastic manipulation, and precise digital controls.

Drawing inspiration from the meticulous observation of natural forms and phenomena, sjvl develops sophisticated algorithmic interpretations of organic structures. His work translates the inherent growth patterns, movement logic, and morphological principles found in nature into distinctive compositional languages. Through this process, he creates "living" objects with their own internal logic, embodying the generative forces that shape the natural world.

His creations emerge from a careful balance of technological innovation and traditional craftsmanship, where each piece is both conceived and produced through this unique synthesis. Some of his works engage in a dialogue with the legacy of modernist sculpture, reinterpreting its formal vocabularies while simultaneously evoking archaic reminiscences. Other pieces explore the fertile tension between precise drawing and gestural spontaneity, creating compositions that oscillate between order and chaos, calculation and intuition. This duality reflects his broader investigation into the relationship between human intention and natural process, between the designed and the emergent.

reefs is a long series inspired by coral reefs and their developmental dynamics. It explores how natural structures emerge and transform under the influence of internal and external forces. The reefs are both physical and digital. Generated by code (JavaScript), a single seed enables a variety of exports that can be embodied as sculpture, drawing, or GIF. Each piece is generated by biological algorithms repurposed to be applied to digital materials: points, vectors, 3D meshes, etc. The series questions the impact of time and cellular automata on matter, playing on the boundary between the living and technology
