Recyclhome, craft workshop in Ain

An art workshop born in the Alps

Recyclhome was born in the Ain region, nestled between Lake Geneva and the foothills of the Alps. It is here that Alexandre Chauvelot, 48, founded his art workshop specializing in recycled materials — at the intersection of local craftsmanship, contemporary art, and the circular economy.

A passion born in a garage

It all started as a hobby. More drawn to tools than books since childhood, Alexandre began assembling salvaged mechanical parts to create decorative objects. This hobby quickly became a creative obsession, then a professional activity.

Strong local roots

The Recyclhome workshop sources its materials locally: from mechanical garages in Ain, flea markets in Évian-les-Bains, and other workshops in the region. These materials have a local history before embarking on a second artistic life.

Recognized by the regional press

Recyclhome has been featured by several media outlets: Le Messager (Évian-les-Bains), Activmag Le Chablais, and other regional lifestyle publications — a testament to the craftsmanship of the Haute-Savoie region.

One artisan, one signature

Each creation leaves the workshop with its certificate of authenticity. If you purchase a Recyclhome piece, you are the sole owner in the world of that work — handcrafted in France, in the Ain region.
