         Interior & Product Design



FR - Née française et élevée en Tchéquie, formée en histoire à Yale puis dans le conseil en stratégie et innovation, j'aborde l'architecture d'intérieur et le design comme une manière de lire une situation avant d'y intervenir. Pour chaque projet, je cherche moins à imposer une écriture qu'à construire une réponse juste, ancrée dans un contexte : un lieu, une marque, des usages et des personnes.

EN - Born French and raised in Czechia, trained in history at Yale and then in strategy and innovation consulting, I now approach interior and product design as a way of reading a situation before intervening in it. In each project, I seek not to impose a signature from the outset, but to build a fitting response that's right for its context : a place, a brand, a set of use cases, and people.

Drawing on Aesop's Greek heritage, this collection offers a sensory journey across five Mediterranean ports: Marseille, Carthage, Istanbul, Rhodes, and Alexandria. Each port comes to life within a case designed as an archaeological dig, inviting the visitor to excavate and uncover relics tied to the city's past, present, and future.

Deliberately concealed, the artifacts don't reveal themselves right away. A small opening, inspired by each city's emblematic forms, requires the user to feel their way toward what lies within. An internal mechanism guides the discovery through a sequence of movements, slides, and false leads, encouraging exploration before extraction.

Once revealed, each relic engages touch, smell, sound, and sight, extending the discovery into a sensory reading of place.

What unites the five ports is color: a deep burgundy inspired by Homer's description of the Mediterranean — not "blue" (an adjective largely absent from Ancient Greek), but "wine-dark." Placed side by side, the cases form a continuous shoreline along their edges, as though each city were approached from the sea.
