In terms of design, her intuitive methodology associates concepts with material symbolics and consumption or usage habits, which defines a dwelling function and a final shaping.
Fascinated by precious surfaces and their story telling, she works in a constant research for meaning in patterns, textures and shades; focusing on liquid and powdered substances she melts, mixes, fusions into solid objects.
With the deep concern of reconciliating production and sustainability, her design focuses on disregarded or cheap materials brought to a new life, while twisting low tech methods and traditional crafts techniques.
Roxane Lahidji was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in the French capitale before studying illustration and product design in Strasbourg (HEAR). After her Bachelor (with distinction), she pursued her research for new design values in Design Academy Eindhoven and graduated from the Social Design master department in June 2017.
