ABOUT
There are objects born of desire and love.
And others that disappear, carried away by the spirit of the times.
We have chosen to make objects that last.
Objects that are companions in everyday life. Objects that are used without thought, but are noticed for their
precision. Objects that are respected, sometimes even cherished.
Our approach is based on a simple conviction, held with demanding standards:
Well-conceived,
Well-designed,
Well-manufactured.
To this are added MODELEC and 10 HEURES 10, who share the same vision.
A well-designed object resists design flaws. What is well conceived is clearly envisioned, and the functions that drive it come easily.
From this premise stems the first movement of our objects: design.
A well-designed object suffers no exaggeration. No artifice in the obvious, everything is legible and honest.
Creativity is born from constraint, and functionality is its starting point.
Design is a function of function.
Every mechanism, every joint, every detail is questioned and refined. So much so that all our objects, in their materiality, dialogue with the eyes and reassure the hand.

Following the thread of thought: drawing. In the Italian Renaissance, disegno was the expression of an idea.
It is the design that encompasses the project and the drawing. The intention and the tracing.
All our objects are:
Well thought out…
…And well designed,
At least, we hope so.
Drawing, a manifestation of the mind, brings together and dialogues with our emotional memory.
It is never a stylistic effect that allows chance to mature into opportunity.
Drawing, a jewel of thought that prolongs it.
This requirement is the soul of DCW éditions. It allows us to meet our authors and publish them with conviction.
They are inventors, architects, sculptors, designers, artists, tinkerers.
Free personalities, sometimes unclassifiable, visionary, even iconoclastic.
But always sincere.
DCW éditions’ expertise finally crystallizes in the manufacturing of the object.
Well-thought-out.
Well-designed…
…And well-made.
Each step is meticulously followed.
Here we are: the creative process culminates in the materiality of the promise. Objects conceived, designed, and manufactured to last, to stand the test of time, and to illuminate from generation to generation.
The material, the weight, the assembly, the finishes: nothing is accessory, everything is essential.
And at every stage of manufacturing, our approach is meticulous and honest.

All 10 HEURES 10 luminaires deliver unwavering intensity, are dimmable, and provide a soft, diffused light.
Taffeta, a refined signature detail, brings delicate pleated tension and a couture-like texture, while remaining easy to maintain.

More than a showroom, the electric bar is a home.
Not really a showroom, actually. More like a living, inhabited, sincere place.
In Paris, DCW éditions, MODELEC and 10 HEURES 10 meet and tell their stories together.
Products are not displayed there, objects are shared there.
It talks about light, gestures, materials, and uses.
We take our time there.
The electric bar is a promise: that of feeling at home.
A house that brings together brands and a label that share the same high standards, the same sensitivity, the same idea of beauty and justice.
A house that welcomes, that illuminates, that makes you want to stay.
Here, light lives, switches touch, objects are manipulated.
The collections interact with each other, as they always have.
Nothing is fixed, everything is on a human scale.
