Nicolas Zanoni (b. 1995, Paris) is a French designer of Argentinian origin whose works defy traditional expectations of contemporary design. Irregular, unique, handmade and often resulting from accidental encounters with his materials, he produces functional objects that take the shape of sculptures and vice versa. After obtaining a Masters in Industrial Design at La Cambre (Brussels), Nicolas Zanoni dedicated himself fully to the nonconformist attitude of experiment and instinctive manipulations of materials, which he had developed during his education. Working with industrially produced materials such as polystyrene or aluminium, Nicolas Zanoni sets out to explore the limits of physical manipulation: burning, screwing, pressing the material.
