Biography
Having graduated from Paris’ ENSCI-Les Ateliers of the Paris Design Institute in 1990, Jean-Marie Massaud has been working on an extensive range of works stretching from architecture to objects, one-off projects to serial ones and from the macro environment down to micro contexts. Major brands such as Axor, Cassina, Christofle, Poliform, or Toyota have solicited his ability to mix comfort and elegance, zeitgeist and heritage, generosity and distinction. Beyond his elegant designs that range from a stadium, flying hotel and concept car to art table and furniture collections) his quest for essential lightness synthesizes three broader stakes: individual and collective fulfillment, economic and industrial efficiency and environmental concerns. His creations, whether speculative or pragmatic, explore this imperative paradigm: reconciling pleasure with responsibility and the individual with the collective.
