Dach&Zéphir – France – Everything began with Florian Dach and Dimitri Zephir, two French students at the Ecole Nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs of Paris. Between 2012 and 2014, still at school, they exposed in France, in UK but also in China where they won the 3rd price of the HSBC YDC Young Entrepreneurs Challenge in 2012. In 2014 they won the first prize of the Concours Cinna, in the category “Small Pieces of Furniture” with the project “Rite”. In 2016, they finished their Master degree at school with the project “La figure de l’autre” that received the “Congratulation of the jury”. The objective was to represent the 4 major migration waves in France through 4 objects, with a design inspired by that shock of cultures. Today the 2 designers are still together and still use history, culture, and identity as an inspiration for their projects.

In 2014, her name became international when she published her most iconic project. Passeig de Gràcia, a 440 square-meters flat in Barcelona. Her style? Minimalist and warm. Spanish contemporary with Scandinavian influences. She sees austerity as a form of luxury, as the art galleries with their empty spaces exposed objects with a lot of potential.
