French Designer
1983-2021
French designer Pauline Deltour founded her eponymous studio in Paris in 2010. Working at a wide range of scales, from furniture to public spaces, her creations blurred the boundaries between design and art. Deltour described her aesthetic as both severe and delicate – a reflection of her own personality. Deltour's work and legacy continue to be an inspiration for the design industry.
