Nicolas Le Moigne

Young, interdisciplinary designer Nicolas Le Moigne creates works across lighting, furniture and product design that are a celebration of juxtaposition. His designs are simultaneously delicate, organic, robust and industrial whilst retaining a true sense of sophistication. His use of opposing materials forms and processes allows contrasts to come together in creating works that act as an elegant counterpoint to today’s supersaturated design culture. This innovative and dexterous approach has brought Le Moigne to the attention of international design galleries and manufacturers, including Atelier Pfister and Eternit. Collaboration with the latter, a fibre cement company, resulted in the Trash Cubes designs; the series of stools use leftover cement and fibres and are designed to have the most basic form whilst using the maximum amount of waste material. Each piece is inherently unique, depending on how the discarded raw material settles when it is condensed and sculpted in a mould.
