Théophile Besson

After a stint at the Maison Hermès and a residency at the Ateliers de Paris, Théophile Besson won several awards: Carlo Moretti, Musée des Arts et Métiers de Paris, FormicaV, Fondation de France grant.

Noted for his unrestrained writing, Théophile Besson's work builds bridges between Art and Design, going beyond the boundaries of a predefined creative field.

His production intertwines modes and media of expression. The artist is called upon to collaborate with renowned companies:
