Lili Gayman - 2017
Lili Gayman graduated from ESAD in Strasbourg in 2009, then from ECAL in Lausanne in 2011. In 2012, she was a finalist in the Design Parade 7, and in 2014 she won the Aides à Projet du VIA. Edited by L'Atelier d'exercices, she designed all the furniture for the offices of Relais Culture Europe in Paris. In 2015, she joined the Résidence des Ateliers de Paris.
She designs objects, furniture, spaces and creates motifs for different media. Through minimal and playful creations, Lili Gayman questions the usual with humour and poetry to create the unusual, the unexpected. Her objects offer great freedom of use. Each one is an experience to be discovered; their understanding is not immediate, it requires time, a move, an immersion, a gesture.
