Biography

Born in 1997 in Rennes, Vital Laine is an interior architect by training who quickly evolved into creating furniture and objects dedicated to inhabited spaces. In 2021, he founded his own design studio where he developed a unique approach to design, combining functionality with artistic sensitivity.

Attentive to the impact of his creations, he pays particular attention to the materials he works with, seeking to establish an esoteric exchange at the heart of the design process. His design approach closely integrates the listening to materials, modeling, and drawing in the development of his projects, aiming to create objects that are halfway between the everyday and the sculptural.

His vision on materials is nourished by a particular poetry and sensitivity. Vital rediscovers common materials such as wood through a deep exploration of their nature and history. For him, each material is alive and testifies to its territory. Listening to the material begins with the selection of wood, where the sawmill becomes an active source of inspiration in his creative process.

Through his project 'Sensitive Wood,' Vital seeks to transcribe the intimate exchange between the designer and the material into everyday objects. His respect for the material is reflected in a personal reading of the material, highlighting its imperfections and natural beauty. The formal purity of his creations allows the material to be sublimated and given a predominant place in his work.

His approach aims to create objects that express the poetry of materials and offer a free and sensitive experience to users. His work reveals the beauty of an inhabited space through the poetry of the objects that compose it.
