Clemence Birot

Designer

Paris, France

When I started my career in Copenhagen, Denmark, I discovered a design practice closely related to craftsmanship.
The latter plays an avant-garde role. Motivated by a free artistic practice and enriched by its know-how, it dictates the exploratory and innovative dynamic in the design process. 
Thus in the design studios I worked for, I frequently collaborated with artisans for the product development (tableware, interior accessories).
Their know-how led me to the constant research of a unique result where the material is respected and despite technical challenges always in focus.
The material itself occupies this central place throughout all the project.

Back in France, I hold on to this collaborative approach with craftsmen, whether for the initial phases of creation or for bespoke pieces production.
