Margaux KELLER

Margaux Keller is a French designer and founder of the Margaux Keller Collections publishing house, which she will set up in 2019 alongside Anaïs Fretigny. Originally from Marseille, where she grew up drawing and tinkering, she began dreaming of becoming a designer in junior high school. At the age of 18, she left the south of France for Paris, where she attended ENSAAMA and then École Boulle, graduating with honors in 2010.

After working with major design figures such as Philippe Starck and Eugeni Quittlet, as well as for the Benetton brand, Margaux returned to Marseille in 2012 to open her own studio. Here, she creates a variety of projects, from a hair salon to a shoe boutique, while exploring a unique vision of design. For her, an object is not just about functionality and aesthetics: it must also tell a story, awaken emotions and reflect a certain poetic sensibility, often inspired by the works of Baudelaire, Victor Hugo or Vette de Fonclare.

Committed to an ethical and eco-responsible approach, Margaux Keller prefers to work with blown glass, which she discovered on trips to Japan and Italy. Her creations, imbued with elegance, quirkiness and poetry, bear witness to a strong attachment to French, Marseille, Italian and Japanese culture. Each exceptional piece is carefully wrapped in a furoshiki custom-designed by Margaux, reinforcing the idea of a design thought through to the smallest detail.
