VALENTIN LEBIGOT

Valentin LEBIGOT is a multi-talented designer. He comes from a family of “object sentimentalists”. Passionate about graphic design, he chose to follow classical studies in product design. After a baccalaureate in applied arts, with a global approach, he followed a BTS in design then a master's degree in D.S.A.A. (Higher Diploma in Applied Arts), all done in Brittany, in Rennes.

After this training, Valentin cut his teeth in many design and architecture agencies, or as a graphic designer, originally a lot in execution and little in creation. Wishing to flourish in the second way, he bought, out of curiosity, his first 3D printer to explore: mirrors, vases,... Then he became a freelance designer for a few years. 2 years ago, he decided to launch his solo activity in order to be able to express his creativity as much as possible and to have control over all the stages of creation and product design. He set up his studio in Paris, in the 18th arrondissement. It is there, in the heart of the capital, that he thinks up, designs and produces all his collections.

Today it offers collections of products, such as its HALO and HALO+ mirrors, with a unique, colorful and very graphic design. He declares himself "obsessed" by the graphic and playful side of objects. If he constantly conducts research, he remains very instinctive in his way of creating. He first worked a lot in 2 dimensions on his sketches. Ditto for the colors he conducts many tests always with the desire to be playful in his approach. The shapes he designs are always made in a palette of very bright colors and define a very assertive retro-pop style.

Valentin works in 3D printing. His 3D printer is his only "production tool" and has many advantages: countless creative possibilities, real ease of production and agility in inventory management. Autonomous, it can operate on a short circuit. He prints to order only and only produces his creations in small series for a reasoned collection proposal.

He decided to include his work in a really sustainable approach. In addition to his 3D printing production solution, he only works with recyclable plastic, also called PLA/rPLA, a plastic obtained from corn starch, or a plastic obtained from plastic bottle waste. In addition, its manufacturing process by 3D printer is very energy efficient, in order to minimize the environmental impact of its activity.

With his brain in constant turmoil and overflowing with imagination, Valentin constantly explores new territories, testing new forms, bringing new functionalities to everyday objects. His creations are unique and certainly bear witness to an assertive style. Go and discover its HALO and HALO+ mirrors, they will tell you who is the most beautiful and the most beautiful!
