Hugo de Thiersant designs objects that give time back to use.
His work explores the relationship we maintain with everyday objects. He develops projects that seek to establish a resonance between gesture, use and time, where observation guides the project from its conception through to its use. His work brings authentic gestures back into a largely optimised world.
Nourished by the collective imaginaries of childhood, play and nature, his design is grounded in simple, almost self-evident gestures and shared situations. The objects he designs are defined by a clear use, yet leave freedom in the way that use unfolds over time. They open spaces for attention, waiting and appropriation, allowing the object to act as a mediator through which the present moment can be fully inhabited.
Trained at Strate School of Design and Sciences Po Paris, his experience at Looping, Big-Game, Bigben Connected, Avion Studio has enabled him to bridge a culture of drawing and design editing with a concrete understanding of industrialisation, including within complex and international production contexts.
Whether developing an innovative product or an edited piece, his intention remains constant: to design fair, manufacturable and durable objects, capable of structuring simple, shared and attentive moments of use.
