Matali Crasset was born in 1965 in Chalons en Champagne, France, and now lives in Paris. The French designer, who was nominated Designer of the Year in 2006 by the Salon du Meuble (Paris), worked with Philipp Starck from 1993 to 1998. Since then, Crasset has had her own atelier in Paris. Crasset's designs have been realised for a number of prestigious brands, including Hermès, Edra, and Artemide. Many of her objects can be seen at private and public institutions, including the collections of the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum London, and the Musée d'art decorative in Paris.
