From ESSEC to the French Institute in Milan, designer Constance Guisset recounts her atypical career
Creator of objects, enthusiastic scenographer and author of the best-selling “Vertigo” lamp, Constance Guisset lays claim to a work full of delicacy and poetry. On the eve of her exhibition at the French Institute in Milan, the one who has become one of the most sought-after French designers looks back on her career and her vision of design.
At less than 50 years old, Constance Guisset has already experienced consecration. Winner of the Grand Prix du design de la Ville de Paris or the public prize at the Villa Noailles design parade, she was named designer of the year at Maison&Objet and has already produced a retrospective at the Museum of Decorative Arts. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI), she created her own studio in 2009, before becoming known to the general public the following year with “Vertigo”. This round suspension, made up of fiberglass arches, as beautiful off as on, produced by Petite Friture, quickly became a design icon.
