Matali Crasset (Chalons en Champagne, France, 1965) gratuated at les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, matali crasset is industrial designer. In agreement with one her emblematic objects, the column of hospitality “when jim comes to paris”, she puts a clean methodology in which she questions the evidence of codes that governs our daily life to free oneselves better of it and experiment.

Thus she develops new typologies articulated around principles as the modularity, the appropriation, the flexibility, the network. Her worj that has imposed itself from the years 90 as the refus-al of the pure shape, conceives 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 textile industry to the equitable trade. Her realizations brought it thus on fields that shed id not suspect, from the scenography to the furniture, from the graphics to the interior architecture.

Matali Crasset spent her childhood in a small village in the north of France, in a farm where work and live were intimately bound.
