THE DNA

BLACK.
PLATINUM.
GLAM ROCK.

Charles King was born from contrasts.

Elegance and rebellion.
Heritage and modernity.
Restraint and excess.

Matte black creates depth.
Platinum catches the light.

Baroque ornament, heraldic language and the attitude of Glam Rock form the visual vocabulary of Charles King Paris.

THE CREATIVE ARCHIVES

TEN YEARS OF CREATION.

HUNDREDS OF STUDIES.
ONE VISUAL LANGUAGE.

Architecture. Sculpture. Historic textiles. Heraldry.

THE OBJECTIVE IS NEVER REPRODUCTION.
IT IS TRANSFORMATION.
