Encounter with Ionna Vautrin

Graduated from the Ecole de design Nantes Atlantique in 2002, Ionna Vautrin has worked successively for Camper in Spain, for George J. Sowden in Italy and for Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec in France. She opened her own design studio in January 2011 after receiving the Grand Prize of creation of Paris. She collaborated with different brands and editors such as Foscarini, Moustache, Kvadrat, Christian Dior, Sancal, Lexon, Serralunga, SNCF, JCDecaux, Monoprix... Her work is at the crossroads of industry and poetry. She designs everyday objects whose ambition is to be both simple, obvious but yet startling. Her projects combine geometric and organic forms, a playful and colourful spirit, intuitive and functional uses, a warm and familiar presence.
