Matali Crasset

Graduated at Les Ateliers - Ecole Nationale Supérieures de Création Industrielle, Matali Crasset is industrial designer of formation. In agreement with one of her emblematic objects, the column of hospitality "When Jim goes up yo Paris", she puts a clean methodology in which she questions the evidence of the codes that governs our daily life to free oneselves better of it and to experiment. Thus she develops new typologiesm articulated around principles as the modularity, the appropriation, the flexibility, the network.

Her work that has imposed itself from the years 90 as teh refusal of the pure shape, conceivres itself like a research in movement, made of hypotheses more than of principles. She collaborates with eclectic universes from the handicraft to the electronic music, from the scenography to the furniture, from the graphics to the interior architecture. Matali Crasset spent her chilhood in a small village in the north of France in a farm where work and life were intimately bound.
