Emotions are the starting point of her work<\/h3>\n

We can make a simple equation to summarize the work of Margaux Keller<\/strong><\/em>. The design is the sum of functionality, aesthetics and emotions. Without this last characteristic, the concept isn\u2019t complete. Margaux Keller<\/strong><\/em> tries to make us react and to activate our collective memory \u201clike Madeleine de Proust\u201d as she said. She is a part of this new generation of designers that want to break this binary system of the beautiful and useful.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sweet colours, bent lines, minimalistic forms. The emotions are here, we are welcomed in a childish world, feminine and however really original and totally contemporary. We feel coming back on time with those acidulous colors as a David\u00a0Hockney knew how to make them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

She illustrates perfectly the emotional\u00a0design concept by her graduation project \u201cDesign Sans Vergogne\u201d. What is the idea? Tell small daily shames and determine how an object can be more than only aesthetic. Nowadays, she is applying this philosophy for all the objects she is creating. She is playing with the daily codes and analyses different social behaviors and uses.<\/p>\n

A committed design<\/h3>\n

The work of Margaux Keller<\/strong><\/em> is committed. Her creations are dedicated to fair causes. First of all, she is pushing up the local craftsmanship, which is needed for anyone working in the design world. The \u201cfrench\u201d craftsmanship and know-how are the starting point of her work, she is talking about \u201chuman design\u201d. The choice of the fabrics is really important to transfer the right emotions. It is also one of the reasons for which one she cames to live in the south of the country, in Marseille. Here, she is finding the inspiration needed for her creations and she can take advantage of the local craftsmanship that gives the soul of the object.<\/p>\n

A committed project: the Hope Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her second main project is the Hope project that was created by the parents of sick kids hospitalized at the Timone hospital in Marseille. The aim of the project is to improve the welcoming conditions of the kids and to take part in a social project. The companies can participate by skills sponsorship and follow the project in a practical way. This is a win\/win situation. The companies win a social dimension and the kids win the know-how of the companies. Her know-how, Margaux Keller<\/em><\/strong> will use it to renovate entirely the consultation service of the first floor of the hospital. Her childish and sweet world is exactly what a kid needs in such conditions, calm and serenity.<\/p>\n
