Dezeen promotion: Le French Design by VIA has unveiled a list of leading and emerging designers and interior designers who are conveying the essential values of French design.
Selected by an international jury, Le French Design 100 highlights one hundred of the most successful designers either from France or working in France.
Emmanuelle Moureaux is one of the 100 designers chosen by VIA
"This list is not a ranking, but rather a photograph of French creation at a given moment: it includes the country's leading names as well as its most promising profiles and stars of tomorrow," said VIA, which stands for Valorisation de l'Innovation dans l'Ameublement (promotion of innovation in furniture design).
The list includes Constance Guisset, who recently designed a modular pouf system, called Waves, for furniture brand LaCividina and artist Emmanuelle Moureaux, who created a rainbow-hued installation at the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design. The full list is available on the Le French Design website.

"All convey the essential values of le French Design: art de vivre, creativity and industry, elegance and a touch of luxury, sustainable innovation, audacity, savoir-faire, balance, heritage, cultural openness and panache," said VIA.
