Wanders Of the World

Marcel Wanders’ chief concern is bringing the human touch back to design, ushering in what he calls design’s new age; in which designer, craftsperson and user are reunited. In his process, Marcel Wanders defies design dogma, preferring instead to focus on holistic solutions rather than the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry, fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly brought to life in the contemporary moment. Marcel Wanders Studio is one of today’s leading designers who collaborates with Christofle to offer ambitious, contemporary pieces by its “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” (Best Craftsmen in France). New pieces, re-editions and historic reproductions, custom orders and more are crafted at Christofle’s workshops in Yainville, France. The studio also realises residential, retail and architectural projects “To create destinations, we design interior spaces that offer a true connection to place. We allow local elements and local culture to influence the design, foster and build community for the future. We work from a new type of consciousness to bring craft to each project. This enables preferred imperfection, storytelling and the humanising and personalising of design concepts and processes. Our approach is to honour the past and inspire guests with a genuine connection to a place or time. Often with our interiors, we use biofilia design principles to make environments that are nature inspired and human focused. We redefine the language of an iconic shape or place to arrive in the contemporary moment. With every interior design, our purpose is to utilise space to promote the ways people want to live while making it a sensory experience that is imbued with a memorable sense of destination.”
