Jean MARIE-MASSAUD

“As far as I am concerned, the role of a designer is not to design objects but to propose life-enhancing strategies… I consider my job as being at the service of progress—yes—but the progress of our way of life.”

The French designer has been working all kind of design fields, from furniture to industrial product and equipment.  In 2000, he founds Studio Massaud and expands his expertise to architecture and brand development. Massaud’s central idea is a symbiosis between “culture” and “nature”, between “technosphere” and “ecosphere”, between man and his environment.
