About
À propos
Born in Bordeaux, lives and works in Paris and Biarritz.
Graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art in Nancy and the Raymond Loewy School in product design.
Samuel worked for 10 years for prestigious design agencies in France and Italy, such as Arik Levy, Antonio Citterio, and Rodolfo Dordoni.
In 2010, he launched his own studio and worked with various companies as a designer and art director.
Samuel was honored in 2013 by the Grand Prix of Creation of Paris City for all his creations, as well as for his creative approach. He also received various international awards, including 3 Red Dot Design Awards and a German Design Award.
In its works, he attaches particular interest to promote the know-hows, to the beautiful workmanship, and to the place of the human being in the project, whether it be with a craft structure or a company.
Above all, Samuel sees above all creation as an open-plan ensemble, and thus works in different fields of design such as furniture, industrial design, street furniture, lighting, spaces, scenography, artistic direction for a company, limited edition pieces. He also collaborates with architects on more specific projects.
The expression of his creations tends towards a pure line, contemporary, elegant, and with a graphic effect sought.
It was also exhibited at the Musée d'Art Modern and at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs of Paris, at the Ceramics Museum of Vallauris, at the Triennale Design Museum of Milan and at the Holon Design Museum.
Some of his pieces were acquired by the Mobilier National.
