Florence Bourel is a designer since 1998. She lives and works in Paris. She graduated in product design and interior architecture in France and Italy (ESAG, LISAA and Instituto Europeo di Design).

"From my mixed origins in Brittany and Africa, I retain the need to mix influences and disciplines through poetic, elegant and refined creations where matter and colour arise and vibrate clean and timeless lines."

For several years she has been fascinated by the conception of orientation and information programs applied to cultural heritage and the arts. She collaborates with prestigious graphic design studios on important material projects: integral Ruedi Baur (signage for the Cite internationale universitaire de Paris), Studio Des Signes (signage for Palais de la Decouverte or the Chateau de Fontainebleau). Florence also imagines scenographies and interior fittings for public institutions or private clients, as for 27 rue Jacob, the event space-bookshop of the publishing house Les Arenes and the magazine XXI.

"My work constantly dialogues between craftsmanship and modernity. Furniture, objects, rugs, lighting, scenography, signage, graphic design, surface and pattern design… The variety of my fields of intervention nourishes my creativity and gives me a vision at 360° on projects.”

Since 2012, Florence has devoted herself fully to the design of furniture and objects and collaborates with many brands and publishers such as Hermes, Desio, Flam&Luce, the Fibule, Kilims Ada, Le Monde Sauvage, Serax, Saint-Louis, Toulemonde Bochart. It is in particular through its rug creations for the French brand Toulemonde Bochart or its objects for the luxury brand petit h Hermès that her style is asserted. The graphic and colourful strength of each creation carries us into the unique universe of the designer.
