Matali Crasset is an internationally renowned French designer.
Since her training at the Ateliers-ENSCI in the 1990s, she has defended a design at the crossroads of artistic, anthropological and social practice.
She works for a design of creation, of the living and the everyday: how can design contribute to living together and accompany us in the contemporary world? It is from this simple yet committed premise that she thinks and works "in motion".
