matali crasset is an internationally renowned French designer. She has defended design as an artistic, anthropological and social practice ever since graduating from the ENSCI-Les Ateliers. She strives for its dedication to creativity, people and everyday life: how can design contribute to our community and help us navigate the contemporary world? This is the simple yet engaging premise, from which she thinks and sets anything in motion.

For the past 30 years, she has been inventing her singular path, undertaking hundreds of projects within the fields of architecture, set and furniture design, public spaces and urban planning. Her works have been exhibited in France and abroad. They are parts of important museum design collections, including the MoMA, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.

Her design without borders expresses her deep conviction that any creative process is first and foremost human, social and ecological. The purposes of any project don’t rely on its sole realisation, but on the process it implements and it's capacity to forge links and create a system of exchange and reciprocity between individuals within a given environment. From this perspective, all projects ultimately turn into a collaborative effort.
