Since graduating from Paris’ ENSCI-Les
Ateliers in 1990, Jean-Marie Massaud has worked on projects in a vast range of
scales and contexts. From a volcano-inspired football stadium in Mexico to a
‘Manned Cloud’ airship concept for ONERA to award-winning objects for everyday
use, his work seeks to renew its subject through a thoughtful reconsideration
of the stakes and an instinctive quest for elegance and lightness.
Internationally renowned designer
Jean-Marie Massaud explores the possibilities for extreme refinement,
individuality and sculpturality in the bathroom. Drawing inspiration from the
French tradition of art décoratif, he challenges us to look beyond typical
die-casting techniques and standard finishes for faucets. Defining luxury as a
layer of added value — a layer of culture and legacy, transposed on the
contemporary world—he reinterprets the spirit of art décoratif for today.
