10 HEURES 10 – The French Art of Illuminating Differently

10 HEURES 10 is a French lighting brand driven by a simple yet ambitious mission: to create beautiful light.

Guided by the artistic vision of designer Fabrice Berrux, the brand has spent more than 30 years exploring the meeting point between industrial design, artisanal know-how and poetic, expressive light.

Since becoming a label of DCW éditions in 2024, 10 HEURES 10 continues its evolution with fresh energy, while staying faithful to its artistic identity.

1. Fabrice Berrux – A French designer in love with light

1. Fabrice Berrux – A French designer in love with light

After graduating from the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Dijon in 1986, Fabrice Berrux began working in interior architecture.

In 1987, he co-founded the creative group 18 Août with Bruno Moretti and Pascal Oriol.

In 1991, he created the brand Dix Heures Dix, which later became 10 HEURES 10.

His mission: to design lighting objects that combine usefulness, artistic expression, and emotional presence.

A passionate admirer of contemporary art, Berrux draws inspiration from On Kawara, Robert Smithson, Pablo Picasso and Lucio Fontana.

His creations feature curves, sculptural geometries, delicate surfaces and thoughtful light diffusion.

As early as 1990, his work entered the permanent collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.

Today, some of his designs are sold in emblematic places such as the Centre Pompidou boutique.
