Marie Dufour

Architect and object designer (State Diploma in Architecture, HMONP) with a strong drawing practice and a focus on small-scale objects. From interior design to bespoke furniture, my work goes down to the finest detail, combining research on materials and techniques, hand sketching and precise technical drawing. Alongside, I am developing an independent collection of lighting pieces in aluminium and stainless steel, from concept sketches and material research to technical development and prototyping.

I now wish to bring this practice to jewellery design.
