Tristan COLAFRANCESCO started his journey in photography, immersed in the punk scene from 2009 to 2011 in Brittany.

He then studied metal, first with a degree in metalwork with the Compagnons du Devoir, and in the company Metafer (a Living Heritage Company). Then came a second certificate, this time in artistic ironwork in Nièvre.

He gained experience while working at Heritage restoration companies, artistic metalworks, industrial metalwork, and contemporary metalwork companies.

In 2017 he created the Ateliers Cola, working since then with various designers on furniture, installations and custom-made objects.

His workshop is located in Avallon, at the gateway of Morvan.
