Nicolas le Moigne

Nicolas le Moigne’s designs are a cele­bra­tion of juxta­po­si­tion. They show an under­standing of, and capacity for, complexity and contrast: seem­ingly fragile yet resilient, at once arti­sanal yet also indus­trial, assuredly sophis­ti­cated yet without guile. Like a master swordsman he parries and ripostes between opposing mate­rials, forms and conven­tions to produce designs that are rigorous and balanced.

This equa­nimity has brought the Swiss designer, also Head of Master in Design for Luxury and Crafts­man­ship at ECAL/University of Art and Design Lausanne, to the atten­tion of both manu­fac­turers and design galleries alike. Working between indus­trial compa­nies such as Eternit or Atelier Pfister and galleries in London, Paris, Berlin, Zürich or Mexico, Le Moigne’s dexterous approach is an elegant coun­ter­point to the chaos of a super­sat­u­rated design culture.
