Overview

Dorian Renard is a french designer based in Marseille, France. He developed a practice that oscillates between a fascination for materials and their mediated meanings. ⁠

Through a sculptural and experimental approach, Dorian’s work challenges our perception of materiality in a sensitive yet conscious way. Driven by an exploration of the subversive use of crafting techniques, he has developed a distinct language that bears the signs of being shaped by human hands.

Graduated (2019) from the Design Academy Eindhoven,

MA Contextual Design Department.
