Time is invaluable: giving time back to everyday uses is what gives them value.
Hugo de Thiersant designs industrial products that revalue everyday gestures, grounded in manufacturing constraints.
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.
