Biography

Born in 1979 in Vesoul, Élise Fouin now lives in Paris where she works as a designer and a teacher. Trained at the École Boulle (in jewelry and furniture design), she tames material first and foremost with her hands. Continuously taking heed of the way the material behaves, she bets on the unexpected. The projects she works on all combine natural elements, lightness and mischief, thus allowing the unfolding of an array of poetical strings where frailty meets robustness.
