About
Clément Brazille is a French creator and designer based in Geneva. His work aims to explore the potential and limits of materials. He is especially focused on the methods of manufacture and the shaping of objects. Frequently, he is the craftsman of his own pieces and realizes an important part of his own production himself.
After having completed studies in Mechanical and Industrial Product Design, he graduated from Lissa Paris & Rennes in Environmental and Product Design. As a self-starter, he imagined and created his own collection. In 2013, he integrated the postgraduate of “CERCCO» from Geneva’s «Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design» (HEAD-Geneva) and then, amongst other, worked with « Fondation d’entreprise Hermès ». During this period, he also won several “call of projects”, grants and artistic residencies in Europe.
Today, he keeps on collaborating with several cultural and industrial actors whose ambition is the development of high technology innovations or exceptional know-hows. If his production is especially focused on the craft of furniture coming from searches in different domains, Clement Brazille designs also public and private indoor spaces with strong personality. He advices and follows new innovative companie with an ethical and sustainable approach.
