Rotganzen Studio, a Dutch creative collective, has captured the essence of fleeting moments of glory and the chaos of club nights through their surreal sculptures of melted mirror disco balls. These sculptures, part of the Quelle Fête series, evoke a range of emotions, from the euphoria of dance floor encounters to the melancholic aftermath of a party. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted from foam and covered with mirrored tiles, except for the felted underside to prevent damage to surfaces.
Collaborating with designer Kelly Wearstler, the series reflects on the duality of club culture, celebrating its vibrancy while acknowledging its darker aspects. The limited-edition sculptures, with names inspired by LA-based music and the spectrum of clubbing experiences, serve as a poignant commentary on the transient nature of glamour and the human desire for celebration. The Quelle Fête series by Rotganzen, in partnership with Kelly Wearstler, stands as a modern homage to the disco era, encapsulating its spirit in a tangible form that continues to resonate with audiences today.
