ABOUT-
Sophia Taillet is a designer, graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs de Paris and S.V.A New york, usa.
She focuses on the exploration of matter as a trigger of imagination and apprehends her objects as sculptures in order to be guided by her intuitions and to integrate a large part of her experiences. From steel to glass, her collections seek to reveal the intrinsic properties of the material.
Sophia Taillet has created a series of suspended furniture for the Palais de Tokyo called "Le Temps Suspendu" (Suspended Time), and her Helik light in flexible steel is being exhibited at the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 2018.
Thanks to the Frac d'Auvergne, in 2019 she obtained a 6-month residency in a glass center in Yzeure, France. In total immersion, she creates a collection of glass furniture.
In 2021 she developed a research project for the Versailles Architecture BiennalE and created a geological stratum totem in partnership with the Institut d'Urbansime Paris Région.
From 2022 to 2023 she is a prizewinner in the Mondes Nouveaux project supported by the French Ministry of Culture, and is developing a project that links design and dance: "du geste artisanal au geste chorégraphique" ("from craft gesture to choreographic gesture"), which will result in a performance at the Fondation Ricard.
In the field of design, she has created the Vénus luminaire, co-edited with Galerie 13desserts, which was exhibited at Milan Design Week, Maison & Objet and is part of the official National Furniture collection “Mobilier National”
In parallel, she develops projects for brands, in art direction and set design, such as Louis Gabriel Nouchi.
